Python

• This script uses Python, so you'll need to install if you don't already have it installed.

Setup

1. Run the python setup
   1. To automatically prepare the terminal shell, run direnv allow. See https://direnv.net for more info on how it works.
   2. If not using direnv, run ./setup.sh.
2. Run python -m src.users to check whether environment is setup and credentials are valid.

   $ python get_all_users.py

Config: googleads.yaml

By default, the client will look at the present working directory to find googleads.yaml. This can be overridden by setting the a path by GOOGLEADS_CONFIG=/dir/to/config/googleads.yaml.

GOOGLEADS_CONFIG=/dir/to/config/googleads.yaml python -m src.users
