Google Ads API Cannot create linked customer with api v2

[Asaf Zinger]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a new customer using the example from git:

https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-python/blob/master/examples/account_management/create_customer.py

I'm getting the following error:

TypeError: create_customer_client() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'email_address' and 'access_role'

(BTW, it is working just fine when switching to V1)

I tried to alter the code like this:

 

role = client.get_type('AccessRoleEnum').ADMIN
response = customer_service.create_customer_client(mgr_id, customer, "ma...@gmail.com", role)

But now I'm getting this error:

 File <>/.local/share/virtualenvs/ml-googleapi-n6J6a0FH/lib/python3.7/site-packages/google/ads/google_ads/v2/services/customer_service_client.py", line 390, in create_customer_client
    access_role=access_role,
TypeError: Parameter to MergeFrom() must be instance of same class: expected google.protobuf.StringValue got str.

Can anyone know how to do it correctly?

Hi Asaf,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! I'm the maintainer of the Python library and this appears to be a bug in the example that we need to fix. I've created an issue on the repository to track it, please see here: https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-python/issues/158

In the meantime you can manually edit the example so the two new parameters (email_address and access_role) described in this documentation are passed into the call to customer_service.create_customer_client.

Hope this helps, if you have any additional questions about this problem or the Python library please comment on the above issue or open a new issue.

Best,
