Stack trace

googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: <HttpError 400 when requesting https://playdeveloperreporting.googleapis.com/v1alpha1/apps/com.kwai.video/errorCountMetricSet:query?alt=json returned "The requested metrics, dimensions and aggregation_period cannot be used together.". Details: "The requested metrics, dimensions and aggregation_period cannot be used together.">

I have completely referred to the corresponding API documents to fill in https://googleapis.github.io/google-api-python-client/docs/dyn/playdeveloperreporting_v1alpha1.vitals.errors.counts.html#query My question is:

Are there any errors in my parameters and how to correct them

Thanks!

Hi @newFunL, thanks for the bug report. The queries to errorCountMetricSet must specify the “errorType” dimension in the request, it is a required dimension. I have looked at the API docs and we missed documenting this. Sorry! I will get the API docs fixed asap.

Hi @trinath89,

thanks for the details. I have confirmed that the scope is actually still needed to generate a bearer token even when using service accounts.

The way to use a service account is roughly as follows:

1. Create a GCP consumer project and get an API key for it
2. Link your GCP consumer project to the Play Console developer account in the API access UI
3. Create a service account (https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-accounts), and download the account’s key file (the equivalent of its password)
4. “Invite” that service account to be a user of your Play Console developer, and grant at least “read only” access to some or all apps.
5. Exchange the service account key for an OAuth token using a tool such as oauth2l.

I assume you have done (1), and (2) since you were able to fetch reviews. If in step 3 you downloaded the key into a file named key.json, you can then use this command to get a bearer token:

$ oauth2l fetch --json ~/key.json --scope playdeveloperreporting

As I said the API OAuth scope currently is only enabled to work with service accounts. We’re planning to allow person OAuth tokens too but the timeline is unclear at the moment.
