I am trying to connect to the google ads api through an service account. I am able to get the necessary authorization token, but then the api returns a NOT_ADS_USER error. Just to make sure I checked the https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/googleads.googleapis.com/credentials?authuser=1&project=*** page. Under credentials compatible with this API the service account I use to generate the authentication token is listed. So at this point I am stuck. Any thought on how to solve this?
Details authentication process and request: GoogleCredential credential = new GoogleCredential.Builder() .setTransport( httpTransport ) .setJsonFactory( JSON_FACTORY ) .setServiceAccountId <https://www.codota.com/code/java/methods/com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.oauth2.GoogleCredential$Builder/setServiceAccountId>( serviceAccountEmail ) .setServiceAccountScopes( Collections.singleton("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords" ) ) .setServiceAccountPrivateKeyFromP12File( pk12Filepk12File ) .build(); credential.refreshToken(); accessToken = credential.getAccessToken(); curl.exe --request POST "https://googleads.googleapis.com/v5/customers/******/googleAds:searchStream" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "Authorization: Bearer ******" --header "developer-token: ******" --data "{'query': 'SELECT * FROM campaign WHERE segments.date DURING YESTERDAY'}" Json Responds [{ "error": { "code": 401, "message": "Request is missing required authentication credential.
