Token expired message

```

google.auth.exceptions.RefreshError: ('invalid_grant: Token has been expired or revoked.', {'error': 'invalid_grant', 'error_description': 'Token has been expired or revoked.'})

```

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the Google Ads API support team.

By reviewing your concern, I understand that you're encountering an "invalid_grant" error. According to the Google Ads API documentation, Google Cloud Platform project with an OAuth consent screen configured for an external user type and a publishing status of "Testing" is issued a refresh token expiring in 7 days. Your Google project's publishing status is Testing so the refresh token expires every 7 days and receives an invalid_grant error. 

You can follow the following steps to avoid this issue:

• Go to the Google API Console and navigate to the OAuth consent screen.
• Change the publishing status to “In production”.

I hope this helps.

 

I just submitted the verification of the app/ consent screen in the Google Cloud Platform, it is worth a shot.

However I don't think this is the problem for the following reasons.

The app worked on the linode server (with proper https protocol) only after some days it stopped working.

If it was due to the app being in 'testing' I can just generate a new token en put that in there and call it a day.

That is not the case. I generated a new token tested it on localhost and it still worked. 

Then when putting it online on the linode server, and then it is giving this error again.

I will leave the token in there for now and wait on verification of the consent screen/ scope.

If you have other suggestions please let me know since I cannot find anything online regarding this strange problem.

Thank you in advance,

Hi,

Kindly note that the invalid_grant error usually indicates an issue with the refresh token. That said, you’ll need to regenerate credentials and refresh tokens. Alternatively, you may use the OAuth Playground to generate refresh and access tokens.

I have just passed the verification process for the google ads scope, hoping that that would fix the problem.

It didn't.

I have regenerated OAuth 2.0 Client credential 

Regenerated refresh token for the adwords scope

Regenerated google ads api token

Plugged everything together. 

Test python application on local host and yes there we get the historical metrics. 

Deploy the python  app to the linode and there we go once again an error....

google.auth.exceptions.RefreshError: ('invalid_grant: Bad Request', {'error': 'invalid_grant', 'error_description': 'Bad Request'}) 

Why wont this work on a linode server???

I have a normal domain with sub domain where the google search console api connection works fine but the google ads api doesn't.

Its setup with ssh and everything else works fine.

Is there someone that could help. We tried all the tings previously mentioned in this thread...

I can share the code if needed.

Regards,

Trespaan
