Steps
Choose between the newer REST-based Ad Manager API (beta, v1) or the mature SOAP API depending on which resources you need.
For the REST beta, create a Report resource with a ReportDefinition specifying dimensions (e.g. LINE_ITEM_NAME, LINE_ITEM_ID) and metrics (e.g. AD_SERVER_IMPRESSIONS), then run and poll it.
For the SOAP API, use LineItemService to create, update, and retrieve LineItem objects (budget, targeting, flight dates, linked creatives).
Combine line-item dimensions with delivery/traffic dimensions to break reports down by inventory, deals, or time.
Track which dated SOAP API version your calls target, since Ad Manager SOAP versions are periodically retired.
Known gotchas
The REST Ad Manager API is still in beta - core reporting functionality may change or lack full parity with the long-standing SOAP API.
SOAP API versions are dated and Google periodically sunsets older dated versions, so a pinned integration can break on a schedule outside your control.
A LineItem does not automatically start delivering just because it's created - status, targeting completeness, and linked creatives/flight dates all need to be valid before Ad Manager will serve it.
