Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me. I understand, I added the fields which I
believe were required but I'm still getting the same error, am I missing
another field?
export async function createAccountLink(
managerCustomerId,
clientCustomerId,
managerAccessToken
) {
const url = `https://googleads.googleapis.com/v16/customers/${
managerCustomerId}/accountLinks:create`;
// The payload for the POST request
const body = {
accountLink: {
type: "UNKNOWN",
status: "PENDING_APPROVAL",
resourceName: `customers/${clientCustomerId}`,
},
};
try {
const response = await fetch(url, {
method: "POST",
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${managerAccessToken}`, // Bearer token for the
client account
"Developer-Token": process.env.GOOGLE_DEV_TOKEN, // Developer token for API
access
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"login-customer-id": managerCustomerId, // Manager account ID
},
body: JSON.stringify(body), // Converting the payload to a JSON string
});
if (!response.ok) {
const responseText = await response.text();
console.error(
`Failed to create account link, status: ${response.status}, response: ${
responseText}`
);
throw new Error(
`API call failed with status ${response.status}: ${responseText}`
);
}
const data = await response.json();
console.log("Created Account Link:", data);
return data;
} catch (error) {
console.error("Failed to create account link:", error);
throw error;
}
}
I set type to "UNKNOWN" which is the one I believe it's correct following
the available account types from this section:
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/rest/reference/rest/v16/AccountLink#linkedaccounttype
I'm getting the following error:
Error: API call failed with status 400: {
"error": {
"code": 400,
"message": "Request contains an invalid argument.",
"status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
"details": [
{
"@type":
"type.googleapis.com/google.ads.googleads.v16.errors.GoogleAdsFailure",
"errors": [
{
"errorCode": {
"fieldError": "REQUIRED"
},
"message": "The required field was not present.",
"location": {}
}
],
what field am I missing?
I'm trying to connect an MCC to a Google Ads account. managerCustomerId to
clientCustomerId
Thanks for the help!
