Im building an app with google ads api using a *service account* auth flow
(server to server). The problem - the auth part is not working...
*Sample of the request:*
const request = require('request');
....
request({
'method': 'GET', 'url':
'https://googleads.googleapis.com/v6/customers/XXXXXXXX',
'headers': {
'Authorization': 'Bearer XXXXXXXX',
'developer-token': 'XXXXXXXX', '
Content-Type': 'application/json' }
}) ...
*or using curl -> *
curl --location --request GET
'https://googleads.googleapis.com/v6/customers/XXXXXXXX' \ --header
'Authorization: Bearer XXXXXXXX' \ --header 'developer-token: XXXXXXXX' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
*[ERROR] Response from google ads api:*
{
"code": 401,
"message": "Request had invalid authentication credentials. Expected
OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication
credential. See
https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.";,
"status": "UNAUTHENTICATED"
}
I can't seem to find out why I'm getting this authentication error.
What I have tried:
1. Following this guide step by step ->
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/oauth/service-accounts
2. Using the python library ->
https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib
3. Using the google ads API with REST (no library)
4. On localhost server
5. On the production server (the www.g-suite.com domain linked to the
account)
Whatever method or environment I try, it results in the same error.
*Sample of how I create the access token (nodejs) -> this part works
fine:*const
{ google } = require('googleapis');
....
const getAccessToken = async () => {
const SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords'];
const authClient = new google.auth.GoogleAuth({
keyFile: './pathtokeyfile.json',
scopes: SCOPES,
});
const token = await authClient.getAccessToken();
return token;
};
*Steps I have implemented:*
- Created a google ads manager account
- Generated a valid developer token for that account
- Created project in Google cloud platform
- Opened a service account inside the project
- Created a private key for the service account
- Granting impersonation abilities in the G Suite domain for this scope:
*https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords
<https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords>*
- Enabled domain-wide delegation on the service account
- Generated the *access token* with the key JSON file.
*I am surely missing something, but am not sure what it is..*
Will be super grateful if someone can share a solution!! thanks champs 👍
