PHP version : 7.4 GRPC installed

I have two issues:

I'm calling G-Ads API to bulk remove ads (code)

for error_detail in error_details:             # Retrieve an instance of the google_ads_failure class from the client             failure_message = gAdsServiceWrapper.client.get_type("google_ads_failure")             # Parse the string into a google_ads_failure message instance.             # To access class-only methods on the message we retrieve its type.             google_ads_failure = type(failure_message)             failure_object = google_ads_failure.deserialize(error_detail.value)             for error in failure_object.errors:                 # Construct and print a string that details which element in                 # the above ad_group_operations list failed (by index number)                 # as well as the error message and error code.                 print("A partial failure at index "                       f"{error.location.field_path_elements[0].index} occurred "                       f"\nError message: {error.message}\nError code: "                       f"{error.error_code}")                 index_array.append(error.location.field_path_elements[0].index)                 error_array.append({"error_message": error.message, "error_code": error.error_code}) 

1. I get a partial error
2. And the code fails to parse it (taken form the official website)

My terminal shows:

Partial failures occurred. Details will be shown below.

I'm trying to access Google Ads campaing reports from Python folowing this tutorial.

I've requested my Developer Token with Basic Access. I think it has enough privileges to execute the script. I Can see my token active when I go to "API Center" in google ads.

I've created a project in google cloud and an Oauth Token.

In google Cloud:

• Created a new project
• Activated the Google Ads API.
• When I go to Manage-> Credentials I see that the Oauth token is compatible with that API.
• I have successfully created a refresh token.

I'm using this script as proof of concept:

• I've changed CUSTOMER_ID to the account number that appears on the upper left corner
• I've created a googleads.yaml and I've loaded the aforementioned information.

When I execute the script I get this error:

NOTES:

The file ads.json contains the private key downloaded from the credentials page in gcloud.

I've seen some posts on this issue but none of them are Python + GoogleADs and I couldn't find a solution there either.

I have also tried other Python + GoogleAds examples getting the same error. This makes me think that I must be configuring something wrong in gcloud / google ads. But I don't understand what.

Please help me make the query I'm really stuck.

Thanks a lot!

I am having a hard time to find a documentation for web conversion tracking for Google Ads.

I would like to understand more about the HTTP POST request that is sent to Google. I can see there is a good documentation for mobile apps: https://developers.google.com/app-conversion-tracking/api/request-response-specs?hl=en#conversion_tracking_request

Is there similar documentation for web? I would like to understand more how i could send conversions to Google creating manually my HTTP request.

I am aware of the Offline conversions API (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/samples/upload-offline-conversion), but it doesn't support the new parameters as wbraid

We are using the BigQuery Data Transfer Service that is based on the AdWords API, but we're missing some of the campaigns. If we write a custom transfer for Google Ads we can get around the issue, but was wondering if there is a timeline yet for a Google Ads transfer seeing as Adwords is being discontinued in April 2022.

Just trying to work out whether to write something custom or hang in there if the new transfer service is imminent. Is there any news on this please?
