Unable to generate refresh token for Google Ads API using generate_refresh_token.py
I am very new to Python and Stackoverflow. I am working on connecting my Google Ads account with Python to automate few standard charts creation and email them to my team members. Please help me resolve this as I had not been able to find an answer to it upon Googling either. Let me know if I have missed out on any info which might provide more context to the question here.
I have been using the steps as mentioned by @msaniscalchi. Created client ID and client Secret from https://console.developers.google.com and created googleads.yaml file in the same directory as the generate_refresh_token.py. When I run the script with respective client ID and client Secret values, I am getting "invalid syntax" error. I have verified my multiple times my client secret and ID values multiple times.
