I believe so. It is probably possible to access data directly from the Manager account, but what I do is access the managed accounts (by CustomerId) directly. Either way, you can only access data from accounts under your Manager Account, i.e. while using Test credentials, you'll only be able to interact with accounts under the Test account. You should create a fresh account under the Test Manager Account (apparently you already have done that). Try to manually create a campaign there (via Google Ads) and then try to pull it from the API. Don't put production accounts under your test account. I'm not sure it's even possible, but test accounts will never be able to run ads in real life, so watch out. 2. Meanwhile, I also tried to create another account under test manager > account.

It should be a green circle for an active account. Check the settings bellow to enable displaying canceled and hidden accounts.

In them, the examples require you to set a CustomerId, I didn't see that in the Python examples, it seems they load that information from file (perhaps the yaml config). The error you're getting means you're trying to access an account to which you don't have access. Remember that the Manager account needs to have full access to the Managed account. In the past, you needed to either: 1. Create the new account from within the Manager account - or 2. Request access *from the Manager account* to the child account, then grant the access in the child account. I remember having trouble using the API when the child account invited the Manager account, it has to be the other way around. > I am totally stuck on this , any help would be appreciated. > It took me a couple of days to get going too, there's a lot to take in. Maybe get some sleep, work out a little, blow off steam, and start fresh. That always helps me.
