Conflict between bigquery and google ads APIs

[Deny Watanabe]

If you want to reproduce the error, add the following line to the beginning of the example "get_campaigns.py":

from google.cloud import bigquery

The example stops working and instead starts giving an error. This is incredibly frustrating and I have just spent an entire day trying to figure out why the example works and my classes, even with the exact same code, did not.

I would think that google, of all things, would encourage googleads api clients to use google cloud services like bigquery, but apparently that's not the case. Should we move to AWS instead?

Both the Google Ads API and Google AdWords API provide an example file named get_campaigns.py. Which API are you using?

Hello Deny,

I'm sorry that you faced this unpleasant experience.
As it seems you get an error when using the Python client library, could you please file an issue with the error details on a relevant repository?

For the SOAP library that works with the AdWords API, please follow this page.
For the new library that works with the Google Ads API, please follow this page.

Thanks for your understanding.

Best Regards,
Thanet, Google Ads API Team
