Hi,

Thank you for getting back to us.

By reviewing your query, I understand that you are getting the error "UNAUTHENTICATED". Can you confirm if you have followed all the connectivity steps? For your reference, you may check on the Ensuring connectivity guide. 

If the issue still persists, kindly provide us with the updated complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated at your end to better assist you on this request. 

If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.

You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.

Hi,

Thank you for providing the additional information.

Upon checking the logs you have provided to us, I understand that you are encountering the error "NOT_ADS_USER".

The "NOT_ADS_USER" error means that the Google account used to generate the access token is not associated with any Google Ads account. The common cause for this issue is that the login information provided corresponds to a Google account that does not have Google Ads enabled. In order to handle this issue make sure to sign in with a valid Google Ads account (typically your manager account) for the OAuth flow. You can also invite the Google account to access an existing Google Ads account by signing in to your manager account, selecting the customer or manager account in question, navigating to Tools and Settings > Access and security, then adding the Google account email address. You may refer to this documentation for more information regarding this error.

I hope this helps. You can get back to us if you still have any issues/concerns related to the Google Ads API.
