I made a script using Google Ads API to get reports from Google Ads. But the refresh token expires every 7 days. I found out that it happens because the app should be published (have publishing status "In production" instead of "Testing"). So I did it. But then the Verification status changed to "Needs verification". An option "Prepare for verification" appears

If I try to "Prepare for verification" than it requires to authorize domain of my app. So this is an option for cases when someone wants to make an app for multiple users.

But it's not my case, I just get reports from my own Google Ads account. I found out that probably the problem could be solved if I change User type of my app from "External" to "Internal". But it seems that it only an option for Google Workspace users.

But as I see on their site it is not free.

I am sure there should be some free option how to do this. Everything else works fine, the problem is just the refresh token expiration. Maybe I missed something, please help.

When I uploaded the conversion to Google ads manager account I cannot see the conversion details, I only see the last conversion date (see the image below), how can I see all conversions details. See image here

I want to use google-ads in AWS EC2.

I try to install it with, pip install google-ads but this throws an error.

After this, a wired thing happen my ssh stop responding until I restart the AWS EC2

My Environment

I have set up a Google Ads campaign.

If users search "Cool Clothes" in Google, my campaign website will show in search results.

Now, the user will follow these steps:

1. Click the campaign website link in the Google search result
2. Go to https://cool-clothes.com/my-campaign
3. The user wants to signup an account, so users click the "Sign Up" button
4. I use Facebook for login, so users will redirect to https://facebook.com first, asking for some permissions.
5. After permission granted, Facebook will redirect back to my website called https://cool-clothes.com/new-user
6. https://cool-clothes.com/new-user is where I put the Google Ads tracking code

https://cool-clothes.com/new-user HTML looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en">   <head>     <meta charset="UTF-8" />     <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />     <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />     <title>Cool Clothes</title>     <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) -->     <script       async       src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-XXX"     ></script>     <script>window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];       function gtag() {         dataLayer.push(arguments);       }       gtag("js", new Date());       gtag("config", "AW-XXX");</script>     <!-- Event snippet for conversion page -->     <script>gtag("event", "conversion", {         send_to: "AW-XXX/XXX",       });</script>   </head>   <body>     Thanks for Sign Up!   </body> </html> 

Here comes my question, the user goes through multiple different HTML pages, how did Google Ads know how to count the conversion?

Are Google Ads using first-party cookies to do this?

I have been struggling with the Google Ads Api to get the MCC Accounts for the last two weeks but I am unable to achieve what I want.

I have the App.Config figured out

<GoogleAdsApi>     <!-- API-specific settings -->      <add key="DeveloperToken" value="XXXXXXX"/>     <!-- OAuth2 settings -->     <add key="AuthorizationMethod" value="OAuth2" />     <add key = "OAuth2ClientId" value = "XXXXXXX.apps.googleusercontent.com" />     <add key = "OAuth2ClientSecret" value = " XXXXXXX  " />     <add key = "OAuth2Mode" value="APPLICATION"/>     <add key = "OAuth2RefreshToken" value = "1//0gd2 XXXXXXX  " /> </GoogleAdsApi> 

This is the code that I am currently working with

Public Sub GetMCCAccounts(ByVal client As GoogleAdsClient)     Dim customerService As CustomerServiceClient = client.GetService(Services.V8.CustomerService)     Dim customerResourceNames As String() = customerService.ListAccessibleCustomers()     For Each customerResourceName As String In customerResourceNames         Dim ManagerCustomerId = customerResourceName.Substring(customerResourceName.IndexOf("/") + 1)         TextBox1.AppendText(vbCrLf & ManagerCustomerId)     Next End Sub 

I am not getting the correct results. The MCC accounts that I was hoping for do not appear in the output. I am getting different account numbers. What am I missing?

Expected MCC Accounts

I am looking for these 10 MCC accounts.

Sub Account Settings Overview

Output

I am getting these 16 account numbers.
