Trying Google Adwords API ver v201609 - Got some error

[Pradeep Kumar]

Hi All,

I am using google adwords php api and i got stuck while accessing the GetReportFields.php file.

When i execute this file then an error log file generated which says.

[04-Sep-2017 12:05:50 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'InvalidArgumentException' with message 'Config file not found as specified: 'adsapi_php.ini'. Home directory could not be located so it was not searched.' in /home/techximu/public_html/adwords/vendor/googleads/googleads-php-lib/src/Google/AdsApi/Common/ConfigurationLoader.php:71

#3 {main}
  thrown in /home/techximu/public_html/adwords/vendor/googleads/googleads-php-lib/src/Google/AdsApi/Common/ConfigurationLoader.php on line 71

Can someone help me to fix this issue.

Thank you........

Hi Pradeep,

The error means that it could not locate the adsapi_php.ini in your home directory. Please make sure that the configuration file is in the home directory. Or, if it is not in your home directory, then kindly set the correct location in fromFile() method as described here:

$oAuth2Credential = (new OAuth2TokenBuilder())
        ->fromFile('location/to/your/adsapi_php.ini')
        ->build();

// Construct an API session configured from a properties file and the OAuth2
// credentials above.
$session = (new AdWordsSessionBuilder())
        ->fromFile('location/to/your/adsapi_php.ini')
        ->withOAuth2Credential($oAuth2Credential)
        ->build();

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks,

Vincent

Also I am running Api from http://*****.com/adwords/examples/AdWords/v201609/Reporting/GetReportFields.php

and i configured the file as you mentioned.

public static function main() {

    // Generate a refreshable OAuth2 credential for authentication.

    $oAuth2Credential = (new OAuth2TokenBuilder())

        ->fromFile('/public_html/adwords/examples/AdWords/v201609/adsapi_php.ini')

        ->build();

    // Construct an API session configured from a properties file and the OAuth2

    // credentials above.

    $session = (new AdWordsSessionBuilder())

        ->fromFile('/public_html/adwords/examples/AdWords/v201609/adsapi_php.ini')

        ->withOAuth2Credential($oAuth2Credential)

        ->build();

    self::runExample(new AdWordsServices(), $session);

  }

Please guide

Hi Pradeep,

It seems that you are running the PHP examples from a web application. Our PHP examples are meant to be run in a command prompt, and not in a web page as stated here.

Also, you don't need to update the OAuth2TokenBuilder.php. What you need to update is just the fromFile() method of the GetReportFields.php itself. Aside from that, kindly make sure that you installed the client library using Composer as noted here.

Please try to run this first in the command prompt and let us know if you encounter any issues.

Hi Vincent,

Hi Pradeep,

Could you confirm if you generated your client ID and secret using "Installed app" type? Please ensure that you followed the guide here in authenticating using installed app type. Also, could you confirm if the email address associated to the clientId has access on the client account that you are targeting?

If you can confirm these, and still the issue persists, then kindly provide your clientCustomerId as well as the email address associated to it. Please use the Reply privately to author option when replying.

[Pradeep Kumar]

While Accessing  new fields like budget, clicks, impressions then i am getting an error.

Hi Vincent,

Thank you so much for helping me throughout the integration process.

my name is Kanhaiya, a colleague of Pradeep working on the same API integration.

We have done the integration. Now we have some issue related to fetching the data like clicks, imprssion, creatives, conversion etc. Let me tell you we are able to access campaign name, adgroups, campaign status, campaign ID only.

now when i try to fetch click, impr. ad copy (display, search) etc. we are getting zero result found. Can you please help me here?

Thank You.

[Vincent Racaza (AdWords API Team)]

Hi,

I assume that both you and Pradeep have the same issue right now on which you could not get the metrics (clicks, impressions, etc.) result in the AdWords API.

These metrics can only be retrieved using reports. For example, for campaigns, you can get the performance data using Campaign Performance Report. You can check this guide for more information on reporting in the AdWords API. For the PHP reporting examples, kindly check here.

Also, if you have further clarifications, kindly create a new forum thread so we can track your new concern/issue better.
