I am having an issue with Google Adwords API and can't seem to get it to work.

I have taken the following steps:

  • Installed composer
  • Installed Google Adwords API
  • Created a Developer Token
  • Created Oauth2
  • Created a Refresh Token
  • Updated all of the above inside of adsapi_php which is in the root
  • I also have Basic access to the API
<?php namespace Google\AdsApi\Examples\AdWords\v201809\Reporting; require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\AdWordsServices; use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\AdWordsSession; use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\AdWordsSessionBuilder; use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\ReportDefinitionReportType; use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\ReportDefinitionService; use Google\AdsApi\Common\OAuth2TokenBuilder; /**  * This example gets the fields available in a campaign report.  */ class GetReportFields{     const PAGE_LIMIT = 500;     public static function runExample(AdWordsServices $adWordsServices,         AdWordsSession $session){         $reportDefinitionService = $adWordsServices->get($session, ReportDefinitionService::class);         // The type of the report to get fields for.         $reportType = ReportDefinitionReportType::CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT;         // Get report fields of the report type.         $reportDefinitionFields = $reportDefinitionService->getReportFields($reportType);         printf(             "The report type '%s' contains the following fields:\n",             $reportType         );         foreach ($reportDefinitionFields as $reportDefinitionField) {             printf(                 '  %s (%s)',                 $reportDefinitionField->getFieldName(),                 $reportDefinitionField->getFieldType()             );             if ($reportDefinitionField->getEnumValues() !== null) {                 printf(                     ' := [%s]',                     implode(', ', $reportDefinitionField->getEnumValues())                 );             }             print "\n";         }     }     public static function main(){         // Generate a refreshable OAuth2 credential for authentication.         $oAuth2Credential = (new OAuth2TokenBuilder())->fromFile()->build();         // Construct an API session configured from a properties file and the         // OAuth2 credentials above.         $session = (new AdWordsSessionBuilder())->fromFile()->withOAuth2Credential($oAuth2Credential)->build();         self::runExample(new AdWordsServices(), $session);     } } GetReportFields::main(); ?> 

But I am receiving the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\ApiException: [QuotaCheckError.INVALID_TOKEN_HEADER @ ; trigger:'New developers must use the Google Ads API: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/start'] in C:\xampp\htdocs\vendor\googleads\googleads-php-lib\src\Google\AdsApi\Common\Util\Reflection.php:43 Stack trace:  #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\vendor\googleads\googleads-php-lib\src\Google\AdsApi\Common\Util\Reflection.php(43): ReflectionClass->newInstanceArgs(Array) #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\vendor\googleads\googleads-php-lib\src\Google\AdsApi\Common\AdsSoapClient.php(203): Google\AdsApi\Common\Util\Reflection->createInstance('Google\\AdsApi\\A...', Array) #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\vendor\googleads\googleads-php-lib\src\Google\AdsApi\Common\AdsSoapClient.php(165): Google\AdsApi\Common\AdsSoapClient->parseApiExceptionFromSoapFault(Object(SoapFault)) #3 C:\xampp\htdocs\vendor\googleads\googleads-php-lib\src\Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\ReportDefinitionService.php(89): Google\AdsApi\Common\AdsSoapClient->__soapCall('getReportFields', Array) #4 C:\xampp\htdocs\adwords.php(31): Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\ReportDefinitionService->getReportFields('CAMPAIGN_PERFOR...') #5 C:\xampp\htdocs\adwords.php(61): Google\AdsApi\Examples\AdWords\v201809\Reporting\GetReportFields::runExample(Object(Google\AdsApi\AdWords\AdWordsServices), Object(Google\AdsApi\AdWords\AdWordsSession)) #6 C:\xampp\htdocs\adwords.php(65): Google\AdsApi\Examples\AdWords\v201809\Reporting\GetReportFields::main() #7 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\vendor\googleads\googleads-php-lib\src\Google\AdsApi\Common\Util\Reflection.php on line 43 

Now I am certain the credentials are all correct. Inside of https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/common-errors#QuotaCheckError.INVALID_TOKEN_HEADER it states there are only two potential issues:

  • The developer token is not set on the request or it contains a typo.
  • The namespace of the headers in the request is not correct.

So the only issue could be the namespace of the headers but I do not understand how to: "Ensure that the headers of the request are in the namespace https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/{version}, where {version} is replaced with the version of the API being used."

Where do I find the version to confirm if this is the issue or if it is somehow that I am using the wrong API which a new developer tokens are unable to be used on: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/signup? Although I did follow the new documentation to the letter...

Or is it that it is unable to find the adsapi_php? Thus it is always wrong? Any advice for finding out where the issues lies? I have been trying to troubleshoot this since 10am this morning.

If it helps here is my composer.json:

    The answer is right there in the error message :)

    You're a new developer, but you're using the old API. The new API is located here: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/start

    The official PHP library for this API is located here: https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-php/
