Does Microsoft adCenter, like Google AdWords & others have an API (application protocol interface) for developers to build software around? The purpose of an API is to help streamline, automate and easily access data from a 3rd party application. They are used all the time for many reasons, but in this case, account automation, reporting and integration into your own backoffice solutions.
A DigitalPoint Forums thread asks if Microsoft adCenter has an API. I dug up some things and discovered a MSDN Forums thread with links to the adCenter API.
Here it is:
The following are the WSDLs used for the Microsoft adCenter API.
Production WSDLs:

We anticipate retiring the V2 WSDLs January 7, 2007, so plan your migration to the V3 WSDLs now! Thank you, The Microsoft adCenter API Group
Hope this helps some people.
