Re: AdWords API Python - Internal Error or Parsing Error

Hello Tejas,

I'm the owner of the Python Client Library, and am taking a look at this issue. It's difficult to say for certain whether this is a client or server-based issue because the snippet and stacktrace are incomplete, but I'm leaning towards this being a server issue or a mixture of both. The AdWordsReportBadRequestError is raised when a reportDownloadError is detected in the response--this is usually the result of bad input.

The UnicodeDecodeError is a bit of a mystery at the moment, as I can't replicate it (also in Python 3) with a data source known to contain utf-8. The fact that it seems to be expecting ascii input is telling, and I'm wondering if something else in your program would be expecting ascii input? It might be the TextIOWrapper, which will default to the system encoding (which may be ascii in your case).

In short, I can't specifically point out what went wrong here because I don't have the full picture. I need to at least see what the report definition contains in order to attempt to reproduce theAdWordsReportBadRequestError; it'd also be helpful if I knew what locale settings are.

Regards,

Mark

Hey Shwetha,

I've confirmed that this issue is resolved by retrying, but it happens very consistently. Since it's resolved by retrying and I'm using codecs#getreader which knows how to handle Python unicode in both v2 and v3, I really believe this issue is due to malformed data sent back from the API as a result of an error. Let me know what more info I could provide to help. Thanks!

Hi Tejas,

This issue is related to how Python handles data streams and not specific to AdWords API. I suggest that you post your query in the AdWords API Python library repository as they are better equipped to help you out.
