Metrics Definition

The way we build metrics is based on the common definition that Google gives us.

Configuration Setup

Download zuri ads repo.

(YAML file and other documents needed)

Installation:
```
pip install google-ads
```
Prerequisites for Configuration of YAML file:

Developer Token

Create/ sign in your Manager account.

Navigate to TOOLS & SETTINGS > SETUP > API Center, you will see your Developer Token in the API Access section.
Starting from the following step

Register a new test manager account here using a different email address(different Google account). You will see the red 'Test account' sign on the top right part of the user page.
Client_id & Client_secret

Enable Google Ads API in the API library.

Open Credentials page, create or select a project.

Select Create credentials > OAuth client ID > Other (Installed Application) to create the client ID and client secret, then download the json file and save it in your prefered directory.
Access Token & Refresh Token

Insert your client id & secret in your google-ads.yaml file.

Make sure you clone the zuri-ads repo, otherwise we start from
```
$ git clone https://github.com/xlyue92/zuri-ads.git
$ cd zuri-ads
$ pip install .
```
Then continue with
```
$ python setup.py test
```
Navigate to authenticate_in_standalone_application.py
```
$ cd examples/authentication
```
Find the json file path and run the following
```
$ ./authenticate_in_standalone_application.py --client_secrets_path=/path/to/secrets.json
```
Access the prompted URL from the example:
- Navigate to the URL in a private browser session or an incognito window.
- Log in with the same Google account you use to access Ads(test manager account).
- Click Allow on the OAuth2 consent screen.
Copy and paste the authorization code shown to you in the command line and press enter to get two tokens. Then save the refresh token in the YAML file.

Insert your test manager account (10 digits) number in the section of login_customer_id in your YAML file.

Verify your configuration

Now you should be able to make calls to the Google Ads API.

Remember to add path to the YAML file in the google_ads_client part:

GoogleAdsClient will read the google-ads.yaml configuration file in the home directory if none is specified.

For instance, python3 GetCampaigns.py.

The console should print a listing of the campaigns in the subaccounts under your test manager account.

Implement src scripts

$ cd zuri-ads/src
$ python3 ideas_forecast.py

And check the results.
