Google Ads API . Unable to pull Campaign Information

[Arun Nair]

Hello  - I am using Python script to pull Campaign Information . I generated the refresh token via Google Oauth2 Playground and use that in the script to generate access token when the script is run.  Below is the code , I use to hit the api .

import requests

def fetch_campaigns(customer_id, access_token, developer_token):
    url = f"https://googleads.googleapis.com/v18/customers/{customer_id}/googleAds:search"
    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}",
        "developer-token": developer_token,
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    query = {
        "query": """
            SELECT
                customer.id,
                customer.manager,
                customer.resource_name,
                customer.status,
                customer.test_account,
                campaign.name,
                campaign.id
            FROM
                campaign
        """
    }

    try:
        response = requests.post(url, json=query, headers=headers)
        print("Status Code:", response.status_code)
        print("Headers:", response.headers)
        print("Response Body:", response.json())

        # Raise an error for bad status codes
        response.raise_for_status()

        # Return the JSON response
        return response.json()

    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print("Error making request:", e)
        return None

# Example usage
customer_id = "INSERT_CUSTOMER_ID_HERE"
access_token = "INSERT_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"
developer_token = "INSERT_DEVELOPER_TOKEN_HERE"

result = fetch_campaigns(customer_id, access_token, developer_token)
if result:
    print("Campaigns:", result).

I get the status code '200'  . But the response is missing the "results" field.   We have a master customer account  and  under we have multiple accounts  for each department. So do I need to provide the account id as well to get the results ?  If yes , the how ?  I am not seeing any resources mentioning that step. Kindly  help me out on this.

Thanks,

Arun

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

As per the provided information, I understand that you're trying to retrieve the campaign information from the campaign resource and you have received a successful response with an empty result. To verify further, could you please provide us with the customer id and the login customer id that helps to assist you further.
 

Thanks,
