Python API: No Campaigns Found

[eadan...@currencyfair.com]

I am new to both AdWords and it's API. I want to get a list of all campaigns using the Python AdWords library. When I run the get_campaigns.py example it does not find any campaigns. I suspect this may be due to our AdWords account hierarchy. When I run the get_account_hierarchy.py example the API returns our account hierarchy as the MCC account with several sub accounts.

Hi,

You will not be able to fetch campaigns from a manager account. Campaigns are associated with AdWords client accounts. If you set clientCustomerId in the API request to the ID of the AdWords accounts under your manager account, you'll be able to get the campaigns associated with that account.
