Hi,
I implemented the required logs in my application. However, the error
raises when I try to generate the GoogleAdsClient and therefore no request
is send and no logs are generated.
Here is the structure of the dict (JSON) I send to the "load_from_dict"
function to generate the client
{
"developer_token": "<DEVELOPER_TOKEN>",
"use_proto_plus": "True",
"login_customer_id": "<LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID>",
"json_key_file_path":"service_account_json_key.json",
"impersonated_email":"<IMPERSONATED_EMAIL>"
}
According to the documentation here
(https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs/python/oauth-service),
I don't use credentials like "client_id", "client_secret" or
"refresh_token" to trigger the other flows.
I sent you privately the structure with the real values and the code I use
to generate the client.
Hope you can help me to find if there is a field I'm missing or adding
unintentionally in order to not trigger the Service Account Flow
