Setting up Google AdWords API (Php SDK)

[Lucy Bowe]

Hello,

I am following the instructions from the Google AdWords API webpage about getting everything setup. When I try to fun the example GetCampaigns.php, i get the following error:

root@business:/adwords-examples-34.0.0/adwords-examples-34.0.0# php examples/AdWords/v201710/BasicOperations/GetCampaigns.php

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught InvalidArgumentException: All of 'clientId', 'clientSecret', and 'refreshToken' must be set when using installed/web application flow. in /root/vendor/googleads/g:225

Hi,

Could you please confirm have you created OAuth credentials (Client ID, Client secret)? If no, please refer this guide to create the OAuth credentials and refresh token. Please add created credentials in adsapi_php.ini file and run GetCampaigns.php. Let me know if you are still facing an issue.

Thanks,

Milind, AdWords API Team.
