I'm probably using an older version and can't create google ads session (java)

[n...@albert.ai]

I'm using this code in java:

//

File propertiesFile = new File("ads.properties.txt");

Credential oAuth2Credential = new OfflineCredentials.Builder().forApi(Api.ADWORDS).fromFile(propertiesFile).build().generateCredential();

AdWordsSession session = new AdWordsSession.Builder().fromFile().withOAuth2Credential(oAuth2Credential).build();

//

But getting an error that says "Invalid configuration in the ads.properties file. Exception: Client ID must be set as api.adwords.clientId in".

In my ads.properties file it says "api.googleads.clientId" and not "api.adwords.clientId" so it seems like I'm using an older java library.

How should I create a session then?

Hello Niv, 

If you're using the AdWords API, the ads.properties should be of the format (api.adwords) as mentioned here. If you're using Google Ads API, the configuration file will use the format api.googleads instead of api.adwords. Could you please check if you have any other ads.properties file in your project which is referring to the legacy version of the API? 

Thanks,

Bharani, Google Ads API Team
