Hi Google Ads API Team,
I'm currently working with the Google Ads API (JavaScript/Node.js client) and trying to generate keyword ideas using the KeywordPlanIdeaService. However, I'm encountering a persistent error: Invalid Customer ID ''. Here's the situation: - I have basic access to the Google Ads Developer API, and I'm using a client account ID that is not a manager account (MCC) or a test account. - The client account ID I'm using is 3877686113, which is a regular client account, not part of any test or sandbox environment. - I am authenticating through a Google Ads Manager account (4138760923), and I’ve ensured that the refresh token and OAuth credentials are valid. - The OAuth token has the necessary scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords. Despite passing what I believe to be correct values for the client account ID and refresh token, I keep encountering this error when trying to call the generateKeywordIdeas method. Request Details: Here's the request I'm making to the KeywordPlanIdeaService: { "customerId": "3877686113", // Client account ID "language": "1000", // English language code "geoTargetConstants": ["geoTargetConstants/2840"], // US location code "keywordPlanNetwork": "GOOGLE_SEARCH_AND_PARTNERS", "keywordSeed": { "keywords": ["running shoes", "sports shoes"] } } Error: When I run the request, I get the following error: Google Ads API Error: { "errors": [{ "error_code": { "request_error": "INVALID_CUSTOMER_ID" }, "message": "Invalid customer ID ''" }], "request_id": "uiI2_yxjJIgkP9t4MkdgLQ" } What I Have Checked: 1. The client account ID (3877686113) is not a manager account or test account. 2. I have basic developer access to the Google Ads API. 3. The refresh token is valid and has the correct scope ( https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords). 4. The manager account ID (4138760923) is used for login, and the client account ID is used for the actual request. My Question: - Why am I receiving this Invalid Customer ID error despite using a valid client account ID? - Is there something specific about basic access or my request structure that might be causing this issue? - Are there any restrictions or special conditions when calling generateKeywordIdeas from a manager account on behalf of a client account ? Any help or insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your assistance. -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum" group.
