Hi Russel,
I'm trying without success apply this script to one of the accounts that we control in the agency where I work.

It starts to do the analysis work, it finishes the update of the ad map but at a certain point it indicates that it does not find the Adgroup in the current ad map. http://prntscr.com/fawoob

Analyzing the file created in google sheets we noticed that nothing was written to the .json file, leaving only a pair of {} at the top of the file.
http://prntscr.com/fawph2

Do you have any idea what that might be?

Advance that both accounts, both adwords and the Google Sheets account uses the same email access.

Thanks in advance for you help.

Junior

@valbiojun I resolved this issue by replacing TEXT_AD with EXPANDED_TEXT_AD in the query
