Miminal Python Example

[aydogan...@gmail.com]

Hello Everyone!

I am very new with AdWords API and trying to execute very basic example from the library.

I just filled   developer_token, user_agent, client_id, client_secret and refresh_token fields in googleads.yaml file and put it in my home directory.

When I run that example script, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "get_campaigns.py", line 81, in <module>

    main(adwords_client)

  File "get_campaigns.py", line 58, in main

Any suggestion of your to fix that error is welcome.

Hello,

Please regenerate refresh token, update the refresh_token property in the googleads.yaml file and execute any example from the library.

Thanks,

Hello,

ive got similar error. I regenerated refresh token many times, it didnt help, is there anything else i can do?

I spent hours trying to work it out but still the same result....

This is my error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./adwords.py", line 4, in <module>

    client = AdWordsClient.LoadFromStorage()

Thank you.

Hello,

Can you try following this guide again?

Make sure you select a correct type of application type, log in as your MCC account user when you do the step to get refresh token, and finally leave no spaces after a refresh token in googleads.yaml.

Best,

Thanet, AdWords API Team

Hello,

thank you for your reply. I tried do it again according to the guide you sent. Result is still the same :-(

I even tried even this but there is not AdWords in the list of APIs to autorize and this but got the same invalid_grant error.

I really dont know where is the problem, I will try to describe my process step by step:

1. I got the developer token approved in my MCC account

2. Then created project in Google Developers Console and added OAuth 2.0 client ID (application type - other), So i got client_id and client_secret

3. Then executed this, put the link to the browser, again under my MCC account accepted and got the code into the terminal, which gave me my refresh token

4. After these steps i had all the information to fill googleads.yaml file, stored in my home directory, there are no spaces after token strings

5. I executed these two lines in python: 

from googleads.adwords import AdWordsClient

client = AdWordsClient.LoadFromStorage()

I tried many times and still getting invalid_grant error.

If you find where is the problem, I would be very grateful.

Thank you.

Hello,

Could you try two more things again?

1. Your application type in the step 2 is installed application, not web application.
2. After putting information in googleads.yaml, can you just run get_campaigns example as is?

Thanks,

Thanet, AdWords API Team

[Lukáš Vožda]

Thank you again for you reply, Thanet.

The thing is that there is not an option in step 2 to choose between installed or web application as the manual says. There are just application types:

I have chosen option "Other".

Yes i run get_campaigns as is and got the same error:

Is there any possibility I can share with you my files to test it as you are an API team member?

Thanks again for helping.

Hi,

Please reply to me privately by clicking Reply privately to author icon on the top right of my reply:

• Your googleads.yaml (be sure to strip some part of your credential info, e.g., removing some 4-5 characters in the middle of refresh tokens, client id, etc)
• SOAP logs and error logs in text
• Your account ID (both MCC and child account) and MCC email address

I need to escalate this to a person more familiar with the python client lib.

While you are waiting, could you please try creating a new refresh token again? This time, use OAuth2 Playground. Again, make sure you are logged in as your MCC account for all steps.

Thanks,

Thanet, AdWords API Team

Hi Everyone, 

I've had this exact same problem and I solved it by including the path to googleads.yaml as an argument to LoadFromStorage.

adwords.AdWordsClient.LoadFromStorage('PATH_TO_GOOGLEADS.YAML')

Thanks
