Campaign Manager 360 API Python Script

[Rajan Parmar]

Hi Team, 

I want to access the API https://www.googleapis.com/dfareporting/v3.4/userprofiles/profile-id/cities using python. I tried authenticating before hitting this api using https://developers.google.com/doubleclick-advertisers/authorizing#python . 

But still I am getting following error code even after I got the message "Authorization Successful":


"error": {
"code": 401,
"message": "Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.",
"errors": [
{
"message": "Login Required.",
"domain": "global",
"reason": "required",
"location": "Authorization",
"locationType": "header"
}
],
"status": "UNAUTHENTICATED"

}

Do I need to anything else?

Hi Rajan,

Thank you for reaching out to us. 

With regard to your concern, it seems that you're not handling the authorization properly which causes an issue.  With this, we would recommend checking out our sample client libraries and implementation which can handle some of the authorization process for you.

I fixed the error. 

I have one query. I created the script and whenever authentication required it opens up auth link in browser and ask to allow certain permission. 

But I want to setup some type of cron which runs on weekly basis to fetch the latest information and deploy it as some service. I cannot manually give permission everytime cron runs right? What is workaround for it ?  

Thanks and Regards

Hi Rajan,

Thank you for getting back to us, and I'm glad that the issue has been resolved.

As per authorization concern, the browser step is a one time step. Please check the following guide where the example explains to load default credentials: https://developers.google.com/doubleclick-advertisers/authorizing#python

If you want to avoid the browser step, then I recommend using service accounts. Please check the following links:

1. https://developers.google.com/doubleclick-advertisers/service_accounts
2. https://github.com/googleads/googleads-dfa-reporting-samples/blob/master/java/v3.4/src/main/java/com/google/api/services/samples/dfareporting/auth/AuthenticateUsingServiceAccount.java

I am not getting an option to associate my user profile to service account (***@googleacount.com) I newly created as mentioned https://developers.google.com/doubleclick-advertisers/service_accounts . Can you please help me with that.
