Hello Nick,
Please try the following: 1. Run get_campaigns.py with an empty clientCustomerId field. The request will most likely fail but will initialize the sandbox. 2. Run get_account_hierarchy.py to retrieve the list of the accounts created. 3. Use one of the account IDs received on step 2 for further requests. I will check if we need to update the README. -Danial, AdWords API Team.
