Application name on google ads manager

[dimas ilham]

on googleads.yaml file it attached something like application name on ad manager, it's written like this:

# AdManagerClient configurations

ad_manager:

  #############################################################################

  # Required Fields                                                           #

  #############################################################################

  application_name: INSERT_APPLICATION_NAME_HERE

I'm watching the documentation but still confusing, where can I set up the application_name, or I fill it up whatever I want? in example:

application_name: jimmy_application

Hi, thanks for responding to my question if you check on googleads.yaml file it's written on their Application_name under the section ad_manager, what I must fill in on application_name? I must fill application_name with OAuth name on console google developer, or I must fill it with whatever I want to fill with? Many Thanks!

Hi Dimas,

 

The Ad Manager API and AdWords API client libraries for Python resides in the same repository. The ad_manager section on the googleads.yaml file is only used if you're going to call Ad Manager API through the client library. If you intend to use Ad Manager API, then I suggest you post your concern in their forum as they are better equipped to assist you.

 

On the other hand, if you intend to use AdWords API, please note that this API has already been sunset as you can see from this blog post. With this, I suggest that you use Google Ads API and its client libraries moving forward. Let us know if you have any further clarification.

Yes, I intend to use the google ads API, but I'm confused about the part ad_manager on googleads.yaml file, if I use Google ads API I don't need to fill the ad_manger part right?

Hi Dimas,

 

Thank you for the clarification.

 

For Google Ads API, you will need to use the client libraries in this link. As you can see here, the Python client library's google-ads.yaml file doesn't have the ad_manager section. For AdWords API, you indeed do not have to make any changes in the ad_manager section, but as discussed, AdWords API has already been sunset and requests to this API will fail.

Hi, it's might be sound silly, because I already asked before, but for the certain clarification I want to ask if I don't fill the YAML file, and I create some function for 5 core inputs on the YAML file which is the developer token, refresh token, client id, client secret, and customer id. Is it okay if I'm not using the YAML file and use my function? or the YAML part file is a "must"?

Hi Dimas,

Thank you for the reply. I'm also a member of the Google Ads API support team and I appreciate your patience with this concern.

To answer your question regarding "Is it okay if I'm not using the YAML file and use my function? or the YAML part file is a "must"?", there is a way that you can't use the YAML file and you can check it out in this document to know the other way to configure the client.
