v2 Deprecation Errors

[Sarah Krasnik]

Hello, 

Since v2 has been sunset, I am trying to use a higher google ads API version using the google-ads python client. Below is the code snippet I'm using:

client = google.ads.google_ads.client.GoogleAdsClient(creds, dev_token)

ga_service = client.get_service('GoogleAdsService')

I have tried provide a 'v5' argument to the client.get_service() call, but it says the only possible versions as v1 and v2. I have also tried pip uninstalling and reinstalling the google-ads package (installs to google-ads==4.0.0), with the same error.

What do I need to do to use a higher version after v2?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Sarah,

You can use this migration guide which should help you migrate out of v2 and onto newer versions of the API.

Hello, could you please be more specific? I use the GoogleAdsService and the .search() functionality, but am getting an error when I provide "v5" as the version. What would be the cause of that behavior?

Hi Sarah,

Can you please share the full request and response for this error? You also received this error while trying to reinstall using the newest version?

It looks like I had to upgrade my entire Python ecosystem to 3.7 (I was previously on 3.6). That wasn't something I expected since Python 3.6 isn't sunset yet!
