Redirect URI refused to connect

[Somya Malviya]

Hey team,

I have been trying to use the Google Ads API, and I followed the instructions given by the Google Ads Developer portal and videos. The API connection is successful using the OAuth Playground where I have input the redirect URI mentioned, within the web application. However, when I am trying to run it using the Python code for generating a refresh token (I have used the github code) with redirect URI as (http://localhost:8080), once I copy the code and sign in using my credentials, it displays the following error: localhost refused to connect.

Attached is the error message and code snippets:

Hi Somya,

Thank you for raising your concern to my team.

Could you try using this sample code instead for generating user credentials and follow the instruction below based on the authentication flow you are currently implementing?

"If using Web flow, the redirect URL must match exactly what’s configured in GCP for the OAuth client. If using Desktop flow, the redirect must be a localhost URL and is not explicitly set in GCP from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import Flow" 

Let me know what goes after. 

Best regards,

Hey Jinky,

 

Thank you so much for helping me out with the Authentication process. I was able to generate the refresh token successfully.

 

However, when I am trying to run a reporting example (get keywords stats from the documentation examples) using Python, it is giving me the following error:

 

I have installed the latest version of google-ads in Anaconda. I have also stored the credentials, customer-id, developer token and other details in the google-ads.yaml file.

 

Here are the screenshots of the entire code:

 

Could you please help me resolve this as well?

 

Thanks,
