I am trying to access the Google Adwords API, as described in their help-file via following sample code:

from googleads import adwords client = adwords.AdWordsClient.LoadFromStorage() targeting_idea_service = client.GetService('TargetingIdeaService', version='v201809') selector = {'ideaType': 'KEYWORD',            'requestType': 'IDEAS',            'requestedAttributeTypes': ['KEYWORD_TEXT',                                        'SEARCH_VOLUME',                                        'CATEGORY_PRODUCTS_AND_SERVICES'],            'paging': {'startIndex': '0',                       'numberResults': '100'                       },            'searchParameters': [{'xsi_type': 'RelatedToQuerySearchParameter',                                  'queries': ['cats']}]            } page = targeting_idea_service.get(selector) print(page)

However, when I try to call the API, following error occures:

zeep.exceptions.Fault: [TargetingIdeaError.INVALID_SEARCH_PARAMETERS @ selector.searchParameters.searchParameters[0]; trigger:'RelatedToQuerySearchParameter']

Any idea what could cause this error? In my googleads.yaml file (which is called properly, following parameters are set:

# AdWordsClient configurations adwords:   developer_token:    client_id:   client_secret:   refresh_token:

Tag:google-ads-api, python-3.x

    This might be late but this error is because you have not mentioned the client_customer_id in your googleads.yaml. Once you add that there will be no such errors

      Thanks. I'd also like to add that client_customer_id should be the one of your test account if you don't have an approved developer token. Otherwise you'll be getting this error. For details about client_customer_id see here.
