Getting 400 Error on generateKeywordIdeas

[David Alvarez]

Hey all, these are my request params:

const route = `https://googleads.googleapis.com/v10/customers/${GOOGLE_CUSTOMER_ID}:generateKeywordIdeas`;

    const requestParams: AxiosRequestConfig = {

      url: route,

      method: "POST",

      headers: {

        Authorization: `Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN.token}`,

        "developer-token": `${GOOGLE_DEVELOPER_TOKEN}`,

        "Content-Type": "application/json",

      },

      data: {

        keywordSeed: {

          keywords: ["baseball bats"],

        },

      },

    };

Am I missing something on my request?

Hi! Thank you very much.

Finally, the error was simply that I was sending a DEVELOPER TOKEN that was pending approval on a (Non-Test) Manager account. I applied for my production token so that I can query without problems.

Any idea on how long the acceptance process usually takes? I can't seem to get my developer token to work with my Test Manager Account.
