Probelem with AdWords API

[rat1g15.s...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I am trying to access the AdWords API from a test acount after creating a production account to get the developer token. However, running the get_campaign.py throws the following error:

google.auth.exceptions.RefreshError: ('unauthorized_client: Unauthorized', '{\n  "error" : "unauthorized_client",\n  "error_description" : "Unauthorized"\n}')

The client_id, client_secret and refresh_token were created for the test account, and I am sure they are populated correctly in googleads.yaml

Thank you very much

Hello,

The unauthorized_client error usually occurs when you are using incorrect OAuth credentials. Could you also try the CURL request provided below and see if you are able to generate the access tokens? That will help you confirm the validity of your OAuth2 credentials.

curl https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token \    

    -d refresh_token=MCC_refresh_token  \

    -d client_id=your-client-id  \

    -d client_secret=your-client-secret  \

    -d grant_type=refresh_token

If OAuth credentials are not generated correctly, you could generate them by following this guide. Please give this a try and let me know if you are able to fix the issue.
