Refresh Token Issue -

[Sree Iyer]

Hi All,

I'm using this API (Sample Code)

 https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/samples/upload-offline-conversion

to upload Conversion Data to Google Ads

As per this Document -

1) I need to generate Client id and Client Secret.

     I'm not sure what should be the type "Web Application " or "Desktop" ?

     

  2)  Secondly I need to generate refresh token and for this I came across this Code base - 

        https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/wiki/API-access-using-own-credentials-(installed-application-flow)

 3) so here is what I did, I generated the Client Id and Client Secret with Type "Desktop App" and I used this Client Id and Client Secret to Generate the Refresh Token By executing this code - https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords/authentication/generate_refresh_token.py

Log into the Google Account you use to access your AdWords account and go to the following URL:

It returns an URL and when I click on that URL, this is the error, I am getting

"""

Authorization Error

Error 400: invalid_request

You can't sign in to this app because it doesn't comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 policy for keeping apps secure.

You can let the app developer know that this app doesn't comply with one or more Google validation rules

"""

Please see the attached screenshot.

Hi, trying to help out.

1. you can use a web application for example if you just use google ads for your website.

2. I'm seeing u using python, you can just watch this for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Kf7P3Qq5bY&t=189s

add some words, google AdWords is deprecated you can't use it anymore, move to google ads documentation here https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs/python or Github on here https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-python/blob/main

Hi All,

You have reached Google Ads API Forum.

Thank you for suggesting the possible solution to this concern, I can validate that the flow of the authentication is correct. In addition, it appears that the error occurred because you haven't followed the Oauth verification process. With this, I suggest that you follow the instruction below:

How to verify: OAuth API verification FAQs - Google Cloud Platform Console Help
General information: Unverified apps - Google Cloud Platform Console Help
