I am trying to retrieve campaign data using a test adwords service account
via the Java client library. Despite being able to obtain a refresh token
the actual call to the CampaignService class throws exception with error
code:
[AuthenticationError.NOT_ADS_USER @ ; trigger:'<null>']
My setup is the following:
1. I have a production MCC Account set on prod_mcc_em...@domain.com. On
this account, from Google Developer Console, I have created a new project
and then requested a developer token for this account which is currently in
status "Pending approval". I created a new Client ID from Google Developer
Console > API & auth > Credentials > OAuth2 and specified "Service Account"
for its type.
2. I have created a secondary test MCC Account on
test_mcc_em...@domain.com. Just like before I created a new project from
Google Developer Console and created a new Client ID and selected the
Service Account Type. In Google Adwords page, under Accounts, I've added a
new test AdWords account under the test MCC account. This test AdWords
account does not have its own email (as does the test MCC Account) but is
linked under the test MCC account.
3. I have added a dummy campaign for the test AdWords account (the one
linked under the test MCC account).
4. I have downloaded the private key file for the test MCC Account.
The code that I am using to get the refresh Token is this:
GoogleCredential credential = new GoogleCredential.Builder()
.setTransport(httpTransport)
.setJsonFactory(JSON_FACTORY)
.setServiceAccountId(TEST_MCC_ACCOUNT_CLIENT_EMAIL)
.setServiceAccountScopes(Collections.singleton("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords";))
.setServiceAccountPrivateKeyFromP12File(new
File(TEST_MCC_ACCOUNT_P12_FILE))
.build();
credential.refreshToken();
return credential;
The refresh token is retrieved with no errors (I can't tell though whether
it's indeed the correct refresh token).
With this refresh token I'm running the following code to retrieve the
campaign:
AdWordsSession session = new AdWordsSession.Builder()
.withDeveloperToken(DEVELOPER_TOKEN_OF_PROD_MCC_ACCOUNT)
.withUserAgent(PROJECT_ID_IN_TEST_MCC_ACCOUNT)
.withOAuth2Credential(credential)
.build();
AdWordsServices adWordsServices = new AdWordsServices();
CampaignServiceInterface campaignService =
adWordsServices.get(session, CampaignServiceInterface.class);
// Create selector.
Selector selector = new Selector();
selector.setFields(new String[] {"Id", "Name"});
// Get all campaigns.
CampaignPage page = campaignService.get(selector);
The last line, however throws the exception which I've mentioned:
Exception in thread "main" AxisFault
faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server
faultSubcode:
faultString: [AuthenticationError.NOT_ADS_USER @ ; trigger:'<null>']

[AuthenticationError.NOT_ADS_USER @ ; trigger:'<null>']
One variation which I have tried is to create a third AdWords account,
which has an email address (test_adwords_em...@domain.com) associated to
it, link it under the test MCC Account, and change the code which creates
the credential to include the call to
setServiceAccountUser("test_adwords_em...@domain.com"). In this case the
call to credential.refreshToken() fails with an error message "401
Unauthorized". I've also tried using
setServiceAccountUser("test_mcc_em...@domain.com").
I'm not sure what the problem might be, whether there's an issue with the
way the account hierarchy is structured, whether there's something missing
from the accounts themselves or whether it's even possible to use a test
service account to retrieve data. Some help would be greatly appreciated.
