Hi,

I have been trying to access Ad manager API from Postman. But I always get Unauthorized resopse.

My Request :

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:v20="https://www.google.com/apis/ads/publisher/v202011">

<soapenv:Header>

<v20:RequestHeader>

<v20:networkCode>XXXXX</v20:networkCode>

<v20:applicationName>Shift</v20:applicationName>

</v20:RequestHeader>

</soapenv:Header>

<soapenv:Body>

<v20:getSuggestedAdUnitsByStatement>

</v20:getSuggestedAdUnitsByStatement>

</soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

Response :

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Unauthorized</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<H1>Unauthorized</H1>

<H2>Error 401</H2>

</BODY>

</HTML>

Have anyone tried this before from Postman. My goal id to integrate with Google Ad manager from (Vlocity / Salesforce Industries) as Third Party. So, need to identify authorization steps and Request Flows

Thanks

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I would highly recommend going through the steps of running the Ad Manager API with one of our client libraries first, in order to ensure that all of the prerequisite authorization steps would have been completed prior to using Postman to do the same. In particular, you may want to do a check on the following aspects to see if you already possess the requisite files and/or have done the requisite steps:

Generate a service account key
Enable your network's API access
Have the credentials file on your device (different client libraries have different names for these, so this might also be different, or even absent altogether, for the purposes of Postman)

This section might also help in troubleshooting your Postman setup. Kindly make sure that your HTTP queries are being properly authenticated with the correct access token, and are using the correct scope as well.
