I'm currently working on passing the User ID to Google Ads using Google Tag Manager (GTM). I've successfully configured the data layer to pass the User ID, and I can see this working correctly in GTM's preview mode, as shown in the screenshot below:

However, the User ID does not appear to be pushed into Google Ads. I've followed the steps to configure the Google Ads tag to capture the User ID, but it seems like something is missing or incorrectly set. Here are the steps I've taken so far:

1. Configured the data layer to include the User ID.
2. Verified in GTM preview mode that the User ID is being passed correctly.
3. Set up the Google Ads tag to include the User ID variable. https://imgur.com/FU4kjxb
4. I have setup google tag to pass user_id into google Analytics: https://imgur.com/uk3lnW4
5. I have checked in the debug mode in google analyrics to see if i can find the User ID. But i cant.
6. List item

Despite these steps, the User ID is not showing up in Google Ads.

What could be the possible reasons for this issue?

1. Could there be an issue in when i am triggering the tags?
2. Are there any specific debugging steps i can follow?

I'm running symfony 6 server / php 8.0.8, google ads api V22.0.0. Got dev token/refresh token, and all other infos, and annot run simple example from google and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here is my code:

use Google\Ads\GoogleAds\Lib\V14\GoogleAdsClientBuilder; use Google\Ads\GoogleAds\Lib\OAuth2TokenBuilder; use Google\Ads\GoogleAds\V14\Services\GoogleAdsServiceClient; use Google\Ads\GoogleAds\V14\Services\SearchGoogleAdsStreamRequest;     $developerToken = 'xxxx';       $clientId = 'yyyy';     $clientSecret = 'zzzz';     $refreshToken = 'dddd';      $loginCustomerId = 'vvvv';            try {         $oAuth2Credential = (new OAuth2TokenBuilder())             ->withClientId($clientId)             ->withClientSecret($clientSecret)             ->withRefreshToken($refreshToken)             ->build();         $googleAdsClient = (new GoogleAdsClientBuilder())             ->withDeveloperToken($developerToken)             ->withOAuth2Credential($oAuth2Credential)             ->withLoginCustomerId($loginCustomerId)             ->build();         $googleAdsServiceClient = $googleAdsClient->getGoogleAdsServiceClient();                  $query = 'SELECT campaign.id, campaign.name FROM campaign ORDER BY campaign.id';                  $stream2 = $googleAdsServiceClient->searchStream($loginCustomerId, $query         );                  foreach ($stream2->iterateAllElements() as $googleAdsRow) {            not reaching this        }     }      catch (\Google\ApiCore\ApiException $e) {         // Gérer les erreurs         $this->_logCall(self::LOG_GOOGLE_ADS, 'ERREUR:',$e->getBasicMessage());     }        

And here is the error:

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

The requested URL /v14/customers/vvvv/googleAds:searchStream was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

I've got client targeting many locations such as "Dallas Texas + 25 miles surrounding".

The API (using Supermetrics) returns the field target_location as "Unknown location: 1603441562541"

Is there a way inside of the Google Ads User Interface to see a list of location ID's along with the written description of the ID? (the goal is to map these ID's number with a readable description inside a data studio report)

I am working on automating the upload of video assets to the Google Ads asset library. The process involves first uploading the video to YouTube via the YouTube Data API and then attaching the uploaded video's ID to Google Ads using the Google Ads API.

Here’s a snippet of the code I'm using to upload a video to YouTube:

public void upload(Credential credential) throws Exception {     YouTube youtubeService = new YouTube.Builder(         new NetHttpTransport(), JacksonFactory.getDefaultInstance(), credential)         .setApplicationName("youtube-upload")         .build();     File initialFile = new File("src/main/resources/test.mp4");     InputStream targetStream = new FileInputStream(initialFile);     InputStreamContent mediaContent = new InputStreamContent("video/*", targetStream);     Video videoObjectDefiningMetadata = new Video();     VideoSnippet snippet = new VideoSnippet();     snippet.setTitle("Test Video " + System.currentTimeMillis());     snippet.setDescription("A video uploaded via YouTube API");     snippet.setTags(Arrays.asList("test", "video", "upload"));     VideoStatus status = new VideoStatus();     status.setPrivacyStatus("private");     videoObjectDefiningMetadata.setSnippet(snippet);     videoObjectDefiningMetadata.setStatus(status);     YouTube.Videos.Insert videoInsert = youtubeService.videos()         .insert(List.of("snippet", "statistics", "status"), videoObjectDefiningMetadata, mediaContent);     Video returnedVideo = videoInsert.execute();     System.out.println("Uploaded video ID: " + returnedVideo.getId());     adsService.uploadVideo(returnedVideo); } 

The code works as expected and uploads the video to YouTube, retrieves the video ID, and uses it for Google Ads. However, I am hitting YouTube API upload quotas pretty quickly, and this is causing problems for scaling this process.

My Question:

How can I handle or mitigate YouTube API quota limits when uploading videos in bulk? Is there a way to optimize or reduce the number of quota points consumed when uploading videos via the API? Are there any alternative approaches or best practices to avoid hitting the quota limit?

Notes:

I am already following YouTube’s best practices for uploads (setting the video privacy to “private,” limiting tags, etc.), but the quota usage is still significant. The YouTube API quota system allocates 1600 units per day for each project by default. Each video upload request consumes around 1600 units (as per the documentation).

Relevant API Documentation:

1. YouTube Data API
2. Google Ads API
3. Youtube Support Post

I'm working with the Google Ads API and trying to run the GetCampaigns.php example from the official repository. The authentication works fine, but when I try to execute the searchStream() method to retrieve campaigns, I get warnings about gRPC channels being maxed out, and the process stops. This is the file

The error log shows the following:

 WARNING: All log messages before absl::InitializeLog() is called are written to STDERR I0000 00:00:1727872579.980136   22500 channel.c:277] [Warning] Target upper bound: 1. Current size: 1.

I tried debugging the code, and the execution stops at this line:

$stream = $googleAdsServiceClient->searchStream(     SearchGoogleAdsStreamRequest::build($customerId, $query) ); 

I also tried increasing the number of gRPC channels by setting the following environment variable, but it didn't solve the issue:

putenv('GRPC_DEFAULT_MAX_CHANNELS=10');
