Hi,

I am attempting to connect to the google ads api using python. I have added the following line to my .yaml file:

use_proto_plus: True

However I am getting the following error:

ValueError: The client library configuration is missing the required "use_proto_plus" key. Please set this option to either "True" or "False".

Best,
Kitty

Hi Kitty,

Thank you for raising this concern to the Google Ads API Forum.

To help you with this issue, you may double on your end if the YAML file is in the correct directory which should be in the path you defined in your environment variable as discussed in this document. However, since it appears to be more related to the client library. That said, I would recommend that you reach out to the Python client library owners via this link as they should be more equipped to provide guidance on this issue.
