I do not know much about pipenv, I am just using it – so far without any problems. Now I started from scratch and ran brew update, brew outdated and brew upgrade before.

How do I report that to its maintainers best, and what does "its" mean, Google Ads or Pipenv? Is there something else I could do?

Update:

Following tai271828's advice here are some further information about the system I am using:

• I just updated to Mac OS 11.1 (20C69) (so it probably was 11.01 before)
• python --version --> Python 2.7.16
• which python --> /usr/bin/python
• which python3 --> /usr/local/bin/python3
• python3 --version --> Python 3.9.0
• which pipenv --> /usr/local/bin/pipenv
• which pip --> /usr/local/bin/pip
• which pip3 --> /usr/local/bin/pip3

I used homebrew to install Python 3 and then pip3 install pipenv.

Update 2:

With simply pip (instead of pipenv) I first ran into the same error, but after updating pip, it worked fine. This was my input:

python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install --upgrade pip pip install google-ads 

Update 3:

I tried to follow tai271828's advise, to update my pip in my pipenv env prior to installing the google-ads package. These were my commands:

pipenv --rm pipenv shell pip insall --upgrade pip exit pipenv install google-ads 

The error message still looks similar:

By the way: I upgraded to Python 3.9.1 meanwhile.

Try running the example get_campaign.py in the google ads api. The code was entered as follows

import argparse import sys from google.ads.google_ads.client import GoogleAdsClient from google.ads.google_ads.errors import GoogleAdsException def main(client, customer_id):     ga_service = client.get_service("GoogleAdsService", version="v6")     query = """         SELECT campaign.id, campaign.name         FROM campaign         ORDER BY campaign.id"""     # Issues a search request using streaming.     response = ga_service.search_stream(customer_id, query=query)     try:         for batch in response:             for row in batch.results:                 print(                     f"Campaign with ID {row.campaign.id} and name "                     f'"{row.campaign.name}" was found.'                 )     except GoogleAdsException as ex:         print(             f'Request with ID "{ex.request_id}" failed with status '             f'"{ex.error.code().name}" and includes the following errors:'         )         for error in ex.failure.errors:             print(f'\tError with message "{error.message}".')             if error.location:                 for field_path_element in error.location.field_path_elements:                     print(f"\t\tOn field: {field_path_element.field_name}")         sys.exit(1) if __name__ == "__main__":     # GoogleAdsClient will read the google-ads.yaml configuration file in the     # home directory if none is specified.     google_ads_client = GoogleAdsClient.load_from_storage('C:/Users/GoogleAPI/googleads.yaml')     parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(         description="Lists all campaigns for specified customer."     )     # The following argument(s) should be provided to run the example.     parser.add_argument(         "-c",         "--customer_id",         type=str,         required=True,         help="The Google Ads customer ID.",     )     args = parser.parse_args()     print(args.customer_id)     main(google_ads_client, args.customer_id) 

But I get this error.

 errors {   error_code {     authorization_error: USER_PERMISSION_DENIED   }   message: "User doesn\'t have permission to access customer. Note: If you\'re accessing a client customer, the manager\'s customer id must be set in the \'login-customer-id\' header. See https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/d ocs/concepts/call-structure#login-customer-id" } 

customer id works fine for google adwords api.

If anyone knows the answer, I would appreciate it if you let me know. Thank you.

My goal is to get ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT with custom date range.

I've tried

oauth2_client = GoogleRefreshTokenClient(self.client_id, self.client_secret, refresh_token) adwords_client = AdWordsClient(developer_token, oauth2_client, self.user_agent) report_downloader = client.GetReportDownloader(version='v201809') report={   'reportName': 'Google xxx ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',    'dateRangeType': 'CUSTOM_DATE',    'reportType': 'ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',    'downloadFormat': 'CSV',    'selector':    {      'fields': ['CustomerDescriptiveName', 'Date', 'Cost'],       'dateRange': '20200501,20201031'   } } 

And got

Request Summary:  { 'clientCustomerId': 'None',  'includeZeroImpressions': 'True',  'server': 'adwords.google.com',  'skipColumnHeader': 'False',  'skipReportHeader': 'False',  'skipReportSummary': 'False',  'isError': True,  'errorMessage': '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><reportDownload Error><ApiError><type>ReportDownloadError.INVALID_REPORT_DEFINITION_XML</type><trigger>Invalid ReportDefinition Xml: DateError.INVALID_STRING_DATE @ </t rigger><fieldPath></fieldPath></ApiError></reportDownloadError>' } 

but when i use

 report= {   'reportName': 'Google xxx ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',    'dateRangeType': 'LAST_7_DAYS',    'reportType': 'ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',    'downloadFormat': 'CSV',    'selector':    {      'fields': ['CustomerDescriptiveName', 'Date', 'Cost']   } } 

it's ok

The question is: How to specify custom dateRange range in selector properly?

I have followed the guide below to obtain a Google Ads API refresh token for my application.

https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/wiki/API-access-on-behalf-of-your-clients-(web-flow)

Using the script below, everything worked, but the response only had an access token, while the refresh token was None.

from googleads import oauth2 import google.oauth2.credentials import google_auth_oauthlib.flow # Initialize the flow using the client ID and secret downloaded earlier. # Note: You can use the GetAPIScope helper function to retrieve the # appropriate scope for AdWords or Ad Manager. flow = google_auth_oauthlib.flow.Flow.from_client_secrets_file(     'client_secret.json',     [oauth2.GetAPIScope('adwords')]) # Indicate where the API server will redirect the user after the user completes # the authorization flow. The redirect URI is required. flow.redirect_uri = 'https://www.example.com' # Generate URL for request to Google's OAuth 2.0 server. # Use kwargs to set optional request parameters. authorization_url, state = flow.authorization_url(     # Enable offline access so that you can refresh an access token without     # re-prompting the user for permission. Recommended for web server apps.     access_type='offline',     # Enable incremental authorization. Recommended as a best practice.     include_granted_scopes='true',     # approval_prompt='force' ) print("\n" + authorization_url) print("\nVisit the above URL and grant access. You will be redirected. Get the 'code' from the query params of the redirect URL.") auth_code = input('\nCode: ').strip() flow.fetch_token(code=auth_code) credentials = flow.credentials print(credentials.__dict__) 

Before trying with the production data, I'm going to try using the Google Ads API with a test account. I have already set up that and I have the Customer ID, manager account customer ID, and the developer token. The next step in the docs states I need to set up the .yaml file which has the follwing fields:

developer_token: INSERT_DEVELOPER_TOKEN_HERE client_id: INSERT_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID_HERE client_secret: INSERT_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET_HERE refresh_token: INSERT_REFRESH_TOKEN_HERE login_customer_id: INSERT_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID_HERE 

My question here is what is the client_id and client_secret? I know that the refresh_token needs to set up like this in their docs: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs/python/oauth-installed

Is the client_id and secret_id the OAuth 2.0 Client IDs setup in the my personal account in the developer console?

*I am using the Google Ads API and NOT the AdWords API
