NameError: name 'client' is not defined

[Mohamed Eshra]

Hello,

How can I solve this error, please?

"NameError: name 'client' is not defined"

I get the error when I try to report through DCM's API using the following Python code to make a request:

# Set up a Flow object to be used if we need to authenticate.
flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets(
    path_to_client_secrets_file, scope=OAUTH_SCOPES)

# Check whether credentials exist in the credential store. Using a credential
# store allows auth credentials to be cached, so they survive multiple runs
# of the application. This avoids prompting the user for authorization every
# time the access token expires, by remembering the refresh token.
storage = Storage(CREDENTIAL_STORE_FILE)
credentials = storage.get()

# If no credentials were found, go through the authorization process and
# persist credentials to the credential store.
if credentials is None or credentials.invalid:
  credentials = tools.run_flow(flow, storage,
                               tools.argparser.parse_known_args()[0])

# Use the credentials to authorize an httplib2.Http instance.
http = credentials.authorize(httplib2.Http()) 

Thank you!

Looking forward to your confirmation.

Hi Eshra,

This is Lakshmi. I work along with Teejay. Teejay is recommending to download the Github samples where some of the OAuth steps are handled smoothly. Once you are able to successfully authorize and can make API requests, you can use the following links which covers the information regarding downloading the file:

1. https://developers.google.com/doubleclick-advertisers/guides/download_reports
2. https://github.com/googleads/googleads-dfa-reporting-samples/blob/master/python/v3_4/download_file.py

The latest file can be identified using 'sortField' LAST_MODIFIED_TIME (by default): https://developers.google.com/doubleclick-advertisers/v3.4/reports/files/list#parameters

Thanks,

Hi Mohamed,

You may use this sample code for downloading reports. In addition, we recommend to check our whole sample project as some of the OAuth steps are handled smoothly there. You may also want to check our report downloading guide for further information regarding to your concern.
