suds.TypeNotFound: Type not found: 'dateRange'

[Chaitanya Phani]

Hi,

I want to pull the data from Adwords API for some date range. Getting the following error. 

Error Message:

 

 File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\suds\mx\core.py", line 72, in append
    self.appender.append(parent, content)

    raise TypeNotFound(content.tag)
suds.TypeNotFound: Type not found: 'dateRange'

Here is the complete code:

def download_Performance_Criteria_Report(client):
    rep_downloader = client.GetReportDownloader(version='v201710')
    report = {
            'reportName' : 'CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',
            'dateRangeType' :'CUSTOM_DATE',
            'reportType': 'CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',
            'downloadFormat': 'CSV',
            'selector': {
                'fields': ['CampaignId','CampaignName','ExternalCustomerId','Impressions','Clicks','Cost','Date']
                },
                'dateRange': { 'min' : '20180101',
                               'max' : '20180105'
                             }
            }
    rep_downloader.DownloadReport(report,sys.stdout,skip_report_header=False,skip_column_header=False,skip_report_summary=False)

Hi Chaitanya,

It seems that there was a mistake on how you grouped the report parameters specifically the dateRange field (this should be under the selector field), that's why it generated an error. Please see sample code snippet below for your reference:

report = {
      'reportName': 'Last 7 days CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',

      'dateRangeType': 'CUSTOM_DATE',
      'reportType': 'CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',
      'downloadFormat': 'CSV',
      'selector': {
          'fields': ['CampaignId','CampaignName','ExternalCustomerId','Impressions','Clicks','Cost','Date'],
          'dateRange': { 'min' : '20180101',
                         'max' : '20180105'
          }
      }
}

Let me know if this works successfully after correcting your code.

Thanks,

Vincent
