I want to use Google Ads API with service account I managed to create a session using this Java code configuration:

ClassLoader classLoader = this.getClass().getClassLoader();         File configFile = new File(classLoader.getResource("ads.properties").getFile());         GoogleAdsClient googleAdsClient = GoogleAdsClient.newBuilder()                 .fromEnvironment()                 .fromPropertiesFile(configFile)                 .build();         GoogleAdsServiceClient googleAdsServiceClient = googleAdsClient.getLatestVersion().createGoogleAdsServiceClient();

I want to use this connection to make a request using this code:

AdWordsSession session = null;         try {             // Generate a refreshable OAuth2 credential.             Credential oAuth2Credential = new OfflineCredentials.Builder()                             .forApi(Api.ADWORDS)                             .fromFile()                             .build()                             .generateCredential();             // Construct an AdWordsSession.             session =                     new AdWordsSession.Builder().fromFile().build();         } catch (ConfigurationLoadException cle) {             System.err.printf(                     "Failed to load configuration from the %s file. Exception: %s%n",                     DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION_FILENAME, cle);             return;         } catch (ValidationException ve) {             System.err.printf(                     "Invalid configuration in the %s file. Exception: %s%n",                     DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION_FILENAME, ve);             return;         } catch (OAuthException oe) {             System.err.printf(                     "Failed to create OAuth credentials. Check OAuth settings in the %s file. "                             + "Exception: %s%n",                     DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION_FILENAME, oe);             return;         }         AdWordsServicesInterface adWordsServices = AdWordsServices.getInstance();         try {             runExample(adWordsServices, session);         } catch (ApiException apiException) {             System.err.println("Request failed due to ApiException. Underlying ApiErrors:");             if (apiException.getErrors() != null) {                 int i = 0;                 for (ApiError apiError : apiException.getErrors()) {                     System.err.printf("  Error %d: %s%n", i++, apiError);                 }             }         } catch (RemoteException re) {             System.err.printf(                     "Request failed unexpectedly due to RemoteException: %s%n", re);         }

AdWordsServicesInterface adWordsServices, AdWordsSession session) throws RemoteException { // Get the TrafficEstimatorService. TrafficEstimatorServiceInterface trafficEstimatorService = adWordsServices.get(session, TrafficEstimatorServiceInterface.class);

Do you know how I can use service account into the above code?

    It looks like Adwords does support service account Authentication

    OAuth2 service accounts

    The AdWords API allows service account access through G Suite domains.

    Which means you need to have your Gsuite domain admin authorize your service account to access it.

    The Code should look something like this to authorize a service account

    /** * Initializes an adwords service object. * * @return An authorized adwords service object. * @throws IOException * @throws GeneralSecurityException */ private static AdWordsServices initializeAdWords() throws GeneralSecurityException, IOException { HttpTransport httpTransport = GoogleNetHttpTransport.newTrustedTransport(); GoogleCredential credential = GoogleCredential .fromStream(new FileInputStream(KEY_FILE_LOCATION)) .createScoped(AdwordsScopes.all()); // Construct the Analytics Reporting service object. return new AdWordsServices.Builder(httpTransport, JSON_FACTORY, credential) .setApplicationName(APPLICATION_NAME).build(); }

      Thank you for the reply. Can you show me how I can use this code with my example code?

      Your code is intended for Oauth2 not service account, i am suggesting you use this instead of your code.

      Could you please extend the example a little bit more? How I have to replace the Session object?

      Why do you need the session object. I showed you how to create the adWordsServices all your requests go though that.
