Scope for pulling data from google ads API

[Rohit Sharma]

Hi Team,

I am pretty new to google ads API. 

Problem Statement - I want to pull in campaign data from my google ads account using python google ads API. I am using a codebase from github https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-python/blob/master/examples/campaign_management/get_campaigns_by_label.py to ingest the data but running into an issue, error message - Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. Few links on stackoverflow highlight that it may be issue related to scope. What all scopes are required in order to access data using google ads API ?

Appreciate if anyone can help here.

Hi Rohit,

Thanks for reaching out. When you make API calls to the Google Ads API, you are supposed to authenticate yourself with a set of credentials. Please follow this guide to generate the OAuth2 credentials and configure them in the yaml file to successfully make the API calls.

Thanks and regards,
