CUSTOMER_SERVING_TYPE_REPORT_MISMATCH: How can I know what type of report i try to create: single-client report or cross-client report?

[fmvs...@gmail.com]

My application returns an error of "CUSTOMER_SERVING_TYPE_REPORT_MISMATCH". I read that there are two possible reasons:

1) Attempting to create a cross-client report in a regular (ad serving) 

AdWords account.

2) Attempting to create a single-client report in an MCC account.

How can I know what type of report i try to create: single-client report or cross-client report?

I do request through test MCC account.

Hi,

AdWords API only supports single client report. The best way to check if an account is MCC or not is to make a call to CustomerService.get(). The canManageClients will tell you whether the account is MCC or not. You should set the clientCustomerId header to an advertiser account ID when making reporting calls.
