Installation
This library is distributed via PyPI. If you have not already done so, install pip, the following command to install this client library:
pip install google-adsConfiguration file setup
To authenticate your API calls, you must specify your client ID, client secret, refresh token, and developer token. If you have not yet created a client ID, see the Authorization guide and the authentication samples to get started. Likewise, see Obtain your developer token if you do not yet have one.
When initializing a GoogleAdsClient instance via the load_from_storage class method, the default behavior is to load a configuration file named google-ads.yaml located in your home directory. Included in this repository is a template you can use.
Create a GoogleAdsClient
You can run the following to retrieve a GoogleAdsClient instance using a configuration file named google-ads.yaml stored in your home directory:
client = google.ads.google_ads.client.GoogleAdsClient.load_from_storage()Get types and service clients
You can use a GoogleAdsClient instance to retrieve any type or service used by the API. To retrieve a type such as a CampaignOperation, provide its name to the get_type method:
campaign_operation = client.get_type('CampaignOperation')Likewise, you can provide the name of a service to get_service in order to retrieve the corresponding service client instance:
google_ads_service = client.get_service('GoogleAdsService')Miscellaneous
