Connecting from PowerShell

The CData Cmdlets PowerShell Module for Google Ads provides a familiar way to interact with Google Ads from PowerShell. The cmdlets provide a standard PowerShell interface and an SQL interface to live data. The CData cmdlets enable you to work with Google Ads using standard PowerShell objects; you can chain the cmdlets to each other or other cmdlets in pipelines. The cmdlets also support PowerShell debug streams.

Data Manipulation with Cmdlets

See Establishing a Connection to learn how to get started with the Connect-GAds cmdlet. You can then pass the GAdsConnection object returned to other cmdlets for accessing data:

• Select-GAds

Executing SQL from PowerShell

You can execute any SQL query with the Invoke-GAds cmdlet.

Accessing Debug Output from Streams

See Capturing Errors and Logging to obtain the debug output through PowerShell streams.

PowerShell Version Support

The standard cmdlets are supported in PowerShell 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Google Ads Version Support

The cmdlet provides a relational view of Google Ads data for your Google account or Google Apps domain. The cmdlet includes tables containing often-used dimensions and metrics; you can customize the table schemas or write your own to combine any valid set of dimensions and metrics.
