Databricks error: "The following arguments are required: -c/--customer_id"

[Fábio Soldá Barbosa Araujo]

Dear all,

I'm trying to retrieve data from Google Ads, and I'm experiencing troubles, even if I got from the code from this link: Get Campaigns  |  Google Ads API  |  Google for Developers and configured google_ads.yaml accordingly. Even replacing "login_customer_id" by "customer_id" in the YAML file didn't work and I'm getting the same error. What could be happening?

Thanks in advance,

Fábio

Hi Fábio,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Forum.

You may note that you don’t need to replace "login_customer_id" by "customer_id" in the YAML file. You will need to ensure that the user / email address you used to generate the credentials indeed has access to the account in your request. If the user / email address has access or is associated with the MCC / manager account, you will need to specify the said MCC / manager account's ID as the value of the login-customer-id field.

However, regarding the error message “The following arguments are required: -c/--customer_id”, you may need to pass the customer_id inside get_campaigns.py code example. You may see below code snippet where you may need to pass customer_id.

:

:
try:

        main(googleads_client, args.customer_id)

    except GoogleAdsException as ex:
:
:

 

If you’re running Python client library code using terminal, then the value is passed via the command line when executing the example, so for instance, note the -c flag in the below command:

python examples/basic_operations/get_campaigns.py -c 123456789

Let us know if this helps. 

This message is in relation to case "ref:_00D1U1174p._5004Q2m9ggV:ref"
