Here are the AdWords API docs:

• https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/start

They definitely don't make it an appealing API to have to work with, especially in Go:

The AdWords API relies on SOAP and WSDL technologies to offer its services.

@GithubUser5462 would you be able to provide any estimates for how much work you'd think would be involved in upgrading this package to work with the newer versions of the API?

• Do you have any example projects that make use of this package?
  It's used as a library.

Would you be able to provide an example of any open source packages that make use of this, or can you identify any users of this package? I ask because we're hoping to focus our efforts on projects that have the most impact for the Go ecosystem, and to do that we need to understand what the usage of this project is like. The only projects I could identify appear to be itself or forks:

It doesn't seem like this project is a good fit for us right now, so I'm going to close this issue. Thank you for taking the time to giving us the opportunity to see if this project would be a good fit.
