I am very new to the AdWords API and have done a lot of research and testing trying to authenticate and test the API. I believe I have followed the authentication flow correctly, but since I am consistently getting the same error I wanted to reach out to an AdWords API Team Member and see if they could tell me what I am missing.
I created a manager AdWords account and have my developer token, the access level is Test Accounts. I also created a Test AdWords Account with test client accounts linked. I am attempting to authenticate with a service account (I had success with service accounts for the Content API). I followed the steps on this page (for my test manager account): https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/authentication#setting_up_service_account_access I am using the googleads python client library to authenticate and interact with the AdWords API. This is a snippet of my code I am using (not including the exact values of my variables) from googleads import adwords from googleads import oauth2 from suds import WebFault import json scope = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords' key_file_path = 'FULL PATH OF MY JSON KEY FILE' prod_man_token = 'PRODUCTION MANAGER DEVELOPMENT TOKEN' test_man_cust_id = 'CUSTOMER ID FOR MY TEST MANAGER ACCOUNT (XXX-XXX-XXX)' oauth2_client = oauth2.GoogleServiceAccountClient(scope, key_file= key_file_path) adwords_client = adwords.AdWordsClient(prod_man_token, oauth2_client, client_customer_id=test_man_cust_id) user_list_service = adwords_client.GetService('AdwordsUserListService') operation = {'operator': 'ADD', 'operand': {'xsi_type': 'BasicUserList', 'name': 'Test List', 'description': 'Testing API', 'membershipLifeSpan': '365', 'conversionTypes': [], # Optional field. 'status': 'OPEN' } } operations = [json.dumps(operation)] try: result = user_list_service.mutate(operations) print result except WebFault, e: print str(e) I am able to create the oauth_client and adwords_client then use the adwords client to get the AdwordsUserListService, but when I try and execute the mutate call I get the following error: Server raised fault: '[AuthenticationError.NOT_ADS_USER @ ; trigger:'<null>']' Is there something I'm missing? I would be willing to give more specific account information to an API team member in a more private form. -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and Google+: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ https://plus.google.com/+GoogleAdsDevelopers/posts =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
