If you need to connect to the Google Ads API through a proxy, you can do so by setting
the http_proxy config in your
google-ads.yaml
file:
# Proxy configuration################################################################################ Below you can specify an optional proxy configuration to be used by ## requests. If you don't have username and password, just specify host and ## port. ## #############################################################################http_proxy:INSERT_PROXY_HERE
For example, you can specify http://user:pass@localhost:8082 as a proxy.
Alternatively, you can configure the proxy setting programmatically using the
GoogleAdsClient methods: load_from_dict, load_from_env, and
load_from_string, just like any other configuration setting. For example:
[[["Easy to understand","easyToUnderstand","thumb-up"],["Solved my problem","solvedMyProblem","thumb-up"],["Other","otherUp","thumb-up"]],[["Missing the information I need","missingTheInformationINeed","thumb-down"],["Too complicated / too many steps","tooComplicatedTooManySteps","thumb-down"],["Out of date","outOfDate","thumb-down"],["Samples / code issue","samplesCodeIssue","thumb-down"],["Other","otherDown","thumb-down"]],["Last updated 2025-08-25 UTC."],[[["\u003cp\u003eConnect to the Google Ads API through a proxy by setting the \u003ccode\u003ehttp_proxy\u003c/code\u003e configuration in your \u003ccode\u003egoogle-ads.yaml\u003c/code\u003e file.\u003c/p\u003e\n"],["\u003cp\u003eAlternatively, configure the proxy programmatically using \u003ccode\u003eGoogleAdsClient\u003c/code\u003e methods like \u003ccode\u003eload_from_dict\u003c/code\u003e, accepting a dictionary with an \u003ccode\u003ehttp_proxy\u003c/code\u003e key.\u003c/p\u003e\n"],["\u003cp\u003eTo use a proxy with the \u003ccode\u003eload_from_env\u003c/code\u003e method, set the \u003ccode\u003eGOOGLE_ADS_HTTP_PROXY\u003c/code\u003e environment variable.\u003c/p\u003e\n"]]],[],null,["# Proxy\n\nIf you need to connect to the Google Ads API through a proxy, you can do so by setting\nthe `http_proxy` config in your\n[`google-ads.yaml`](https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-python/blob/HEAD/google-ads.yaml)\nfile: \n\n # Proxy configuration\n ###############################################################################\n # Below you can specify an optional proxy configuration to be used by #\n # requests.
