Do I need to authenticate for gmb api every time?

[Jiaxin Wu]

Hi, 
The first step for linking business locations to Google ads campaign is to 
authenticate for GMB and AdWords API calls then generate access_token. I 
create locations for our client accounts in our own gmb account and use the 
location to create location extensions. 
I'm using the following scope to create authentication url:

var auth_url = Auth.oauth2Client.generateAuthUrl({
access_type : 'offline',
prompt  : 'consent',
scope   : [
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.business.manage',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/business.manage'
]
});


Every time I test on my test account, gmb api ask me to do the 
authentication step to generate a new access_token, or I can't access gmb 
api. In order to get the access_token I need to give permission on 
the consent page. But our google adwords mcc account contains many client 
accounts. It is impossible to generate a new access token every time 
clients want to create new campaign with location extension, cause our code 
is already on production. 
Is there any way that I can generate a access token with longer expire time 
that I can refresh it once a month?

Thanks!

Re: Location Extension doesn't show up in ad

[Jiaxin Wu]

Hi Nikisha,

Is that mean once the location is created in "Ads & extensions" page, all 
the api coding procedures are finished? And the ads should be showing the 
location extension when it is publishes?

Thanks,
Jiaxin

Got MISSING_FEEDMAPPING_FOR_PLACEHOLDER_TYPE during creating location extension

[Jiaxin Wu]

Hi,

I follow the guide for creating location extension: 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/feed-services-locations

When I called CustomerFeedService to add the feed with the customer, I got 
"MISSING_FEEDMAPPING_FOR_PLACEHOLDER_TYPE" error. But there is written, 
that the FeedMapping is not need, because it is generated automatically.

And I did add the feed to the customer successfully this morning, but it 
failed now. 
I set the operation to be
let operation = {
operator : 'ADD',
operand  : {
feedId   : feed.id,
matchingFunction : {
operator : 'IDENTITY',
lhsOperand : {
'xsi:type' : 'ConstantOperand',
type : 'BOOLEAN',
booleanValue : true
}
},
placeholderTypes : 7,
status : 'ENABLED'
}
};

Following is my soap error:

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
>https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809";>
000596244b03d7b80a376246ee057ed6CustomerFeedService

Can you please me get an advice, please?

Got "DUPLICATE_SYSTEM_FEED" error when called FeedService

[Jiaxin Wu]

Hi, 

I got the soap error when I was calling "FeedService" to C\create a new 
location extension feed linked to the Google My Business account:

'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809";>000595bf73a3508a0a37f918d00e0253FeedServicemutate0323soap:Client[FeedError.DUPLICATE_SYSTEM_FEED

xsi:type="FeedError">operations[0].operand.systemFeedGenerationDataoperations0operandsystemFeedGenerationData;FeedError.DUPLICATE_SYSTEM_FEEDFeedErrorUNKNOWN'
 

It said "There is already a feed with the given system feed generation 
data.", is it because I called "FeedItemService" to add other extensions 
before? How to fix and avoid this issue?

Thanks,
Jessie

Getting 403 error when calling gmb api to get the location listing of my account

[Jiaxin Wu]

Hi, 

When I called the gmb api ('https://mybusiness.googleapis.com/v4/accounts' 
with access token) to get the location listing of our account, I got :
'{ StatusCodeError: 403 - {"error":{"code":403,"message":"Request had 
insufficient authentication scopes.","status":"PERMISSION_DENIED"}}.' 

and in headers, it said: 
 'www-authenticate:
 'Bearer realm="https://accounts.google.com/";, error=
"insufficient_scope", scope="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/business.manage 
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.business.manage";''.

I added the scope into my google adword oauth client id, and the access 
token was also generated in google adword oauth client id. What's the 
reason of this error? Is it because I added the scope to the wrong client? 
Maybe I should add it in my google oauth client not the google adword oauth 
client?

Thanks!!

Create Google My Business accounts in behalf of my clients

[Jiaxin Wu]

Hi,
If I want to create the Google My Business accounts on behalf of my clients 
after creating their accounts under my mcc account, do I need to use their 
email address to create/list their GMB accounts, or can I use my mcc 
account email to create their GMB accounts?
Thanks!

Re: To setup location extension for client accounts in MCC account

[Jiaxin Wu]

Hi, Xiaoming,

Thanks for your quick reply. And I have one more question, if I could 
finish the authentication on behalf of them and create their GMB accounts, 
then is it necessary for my clients to have a gmail account? Or all I need 
is only their locations where they want to show in the location extension?

Thanks!

To setup location extension for client accounts in MCC account

[Jiaxin Wu]

Hi,

I have 2 questions about setting up Location Extension for my clients 
accounts:
1. To setup 'Location Extension' for my clients accounts during the 
creation of their campaigns, do I need their own OAuth2 credentials(client 
ID and client secret) for Google My Business and AdWords API calls? Or can 
I finish the authentication on behalf of my clients and generate their own 
OAuth2 credentials?
2. Is it required for my clients to have their account or location 
of Google My Business. If they don't have their business in Google, can I 
add their business to Google?

Thanks!
