Please simplify API
What is it with enterprise companies and the obsession to make the simple complex?
I have a golden rule, if an API can not be understood and implemented in less then 30 minutes its useless and over engineered.
Ultimately, all an API is, IS a FFI (a Foreign Function Interface):
It should just be a list of calls, with their parameters, some super basic authentication with well defined return payload structure. The API documentation should therefor just really document those Method calls and their parameter types.
But of course, we can't have nice things, and instead we need to build…
10 votesThank you for your feedback. We will actively work to improve the interface.

Pretty please, redesign the Java API from scratch.
Dunno whoever designed the Java API, but it's plain horrible. Hire someone who can write proper Java code (and knows what SOAP is).

Improve your documentation. It is not clear where to get my developer token, and this wastes my time..
Give instructions for how to get developer token.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bing-ads-getting-started.aspx
links to https://developers.bingads.microsoft.com/Account
Developer token is not here.1 voteThe developer token is available from that page if you are signed in with a Bing Ads account. If you aren’t signed in when you visit the page, it asks you to sign in. If you do not have a Bing Ads account, you have to create one before you can get a developer token.
Please let us know if the above steps do not address your issues. Thanks.
