2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 13 stars13 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Query Google Ads campaigns, ad groups, keywords and spend via the Google Ads API (GAQL searchStream). Use when the user mentions Google Ads, ad campaigns, ad spend / cost, impressions / clicks / conversions on ads, or campaign performance.
The file declares its own license as Apache-2.0. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Query the Google Ads API via curl + jq. Two credentials plus one context
header:
$GOOGLE_ADS_TOKEN— the user's OAuth bearer (adwordsscope) →Authorization: Bearer $GOOGLE_ADS_TOKEN$GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN— the platform's developer token (injected server-side) → headerdeveloper-token: $GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKENlogin-customer-id— only for manager (MCC) scoped calls: the manager id the request runs under, or$GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_IDif set (digits only, no dashes). Not needed bycustomers:listAccessibleCustomers.
API version: the base is
https://googleads.googleapis.com/<vNN>. Google ships a newvNNevery ~4 months and retires old ones, so a hardcoded version eventually stops working. The example usesv25(supported as of 2026-07). If every call 404s, the version is unavailable — either retired or not yet released. Probecustomers:listAccessibleCustomers: a supported version answers 401/200, an unavailable one 404. Step down one version at a time from the example, and check Google's supported-versions table before assuming a newervNNexists.
If $GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN is empty, the connector isn't fully provisioned —
say so rather than calling the API (it would 401/DEVELOPER_TOKEN_NOT_APPROVED).
VER="v25"; BASE="https://googleads.googleapis.com/$VER"

Report with GAQL (searchStream)

# Manager (MCC) access → send login-customer-id; direct access → drop the header.
# Array, not a plain string: the header value contains a space and would split.

curl -sS -H "$AUTH" -H "$DEV" "${LOGIN[@]}" \

GAQL resources: campaign, ad_group, ad_group_criterion (keywords),
customer. Cost is metrics.cost_micros (÷ 1,000,000 = account currency).
Gotchas
- A 404 on every endpoint points at
VER, not at credentials — the version is retired or unreleased. A 404 on a single call is about that call: a missing resource (bad customer id) or a wrong path. Sanity-check the version withcustomers:listAccessibleCustomersbefore debugging auth. - Two credentials plus a context header.
developer-tokenis required on every call;login-customer-idis only needed when acting under a manager (MCC) account —customers:listAccessibleCustomersworks without it. Omitting it on a manager-scoped call is the #1 cause of 401/403 here. - Customer ids are digits only in URLs/headers (strip the dashes from
123-456-7890). searchStreamreturns an array of chunks each with.results[]— flatten with.[].results[]?.- Cost is in micros of the account currency; divide by 1e6.
