bingads V13 report request fails in python sdk

I try to download a bingads report using python SDK, but I keep getting an error says: "Type not found: 'Aggregation'" after submitting a report request. I've tried all 4 options mentioned in the following link:
https://github.com/BingAds/BingAds-Python-SDK/blob/master/examples/v13/report_requests.py
Authentication process prior to request works just fine.
I execute the following:
report_request = get_report_request(authorization_data.account_id)
reporting_download_parameters = ReportingDownloadParameters(
report_request=report_request,
result_file_directory=FILE_DIRECTORY,
result_file_name=RESULT_FILE_NAME,
overwrite_result_file=True, # Set this value true if you want to overwrite the same file.
timeout_in_milliseconds=TIMEOUT_IN_MILLISECONDS
)
output_status_message("-----\nAwaiting download_report...")
download_report(reporting_download_parameters)
after a careful debugging, it seems that the program fails when trying to execute a command within "reporting_service_manager.py". Here is workflow:
download_report(self, download_parameters):
report_file_path = self.download_file(download_parameters)
then:
download_file(self, download_parameters):
operation = self.submit_download(download_parameters.report_request)
then:
submit_download(self, report_request):
self.normalize_request(report_request)
response = self.service_client.SubmitGenerateReport(report_request)
SubmitGenerateReport starts a sequence of events ending with a call to "_SeviceCall.init" function within "service_client.py", returning an exception "Type not found: 'Aggregation'"
try:
response = self.service_client.soap_client.service.__getattr__(self.name)(*args, **kwargs)
return response
except Exception as ex:
if need_to_refresh_token is False \
and self.service_client.refresh_oauth_tokens_automatically \
and self.service_client._is_expired_token_exception(ex):
need_to_refresh_token = True
else:
raise ex
Can anyone shed some light? .
Thanks

Please be sure to set Aggregation e.g., as shown here.
aggregation = 'Daily'
If the report type does not use aggregation, you can set Aggregation=None.
Does this help?

This may be a bit late 2 months after the fact but maybe this will help someone else. I had the same error (though I suppose it may not be the same issue). It does look like you did what I did (and I'm sure others will as well): copy-paste the Microsoft example code and tried to run it only to find that it didn't work.
I spent quite some time trying to debug the issue and it looked to me like the XML wasn't being searched correctly. I was using suds-py3 for the script at the time so I tried suds-community and everything just worked after that.
I also re-read the Bing Ads API walkthrough for getting started again and found that they recommend suds-jurko instead.
Long story short: If you want to use the bingads API don't use suds-py3, use either suds-community (which I can confirm works for everything I've used the API for) or suds-jurko (which is the one recommended by Microsoft).

Waiting MySQL execution before rendering template

I am using Flask and MySQL. I have an issue with updated data not showing up after the execution.
Currently, I am deleting and redirecting back to the admin page so I may then have a refreshed version of the website. However, I still get old entries showing up in the table I have in the front end. After refreshing manually, everything works normally. The issue sometimes also happens with data simply not being sent to the front-end at all as a result of the template being rendered faster than the MySQL execution and an empty list being sent forward, I assume.
On Python I have:
#app.route("/admin")
def admin_main():
query = "SELECT * FROM categories"
conn.executing = True
results = conn.exec_query(query)
return render_template("src/admin.html", categories = results)
#app.route('/delete_category', methods = ['POST'])
def delete_category():
id = request.form['category_id']
query = "DELETE FROM categories WHERE cid = '{}'".format(id)
conn.delete_query(query)
return redirect("admin", code=302)
admin_main is the main page. I tried adding some sort of "semaphore" system, only executing once "conn.executing" would become false, but that did not work out either. I also tried playing around with async and await, but no luck ("The view function did not return a valid response").
I am somehow out of options in this case and do not really know how to treat the problem. Any help is appreciated!

I figured that the problem was not with the data not being properly read, but with the page not being refreshed. Though the console prints a GET request for the page, it does not direct since it is already on that same page.
The only workaround I am currently working on is socket.io implementation to have the content updated dynamically.

Is it possible to inject python code in Kwargs and how could I prevent this user input

I'm at the moment in the middle of writing my Bachelor thesis and for it creating a database system with Postgres and Flask.
To ensure the safety of my data, I was working on a file to prevent SQL injections, since a user should be able to submit a string via Http request. Since most of my functions which I use to analyze the Http request use Kwargs and a dict based on JSON in the request I was wondering if it is possible to inject python code into those kwargs.
And If so If there are ways to prevent that.
To make it easier to understand what I mean, here are some example requests and code:
def calc_sum(a, b):
c = a + b
return c
#app.route(/<target:string>/<value:string>)
def handle_request(target,value):
if target == 'calc_sum':
cmd = json.loads(value)
calc_sum(**cmd)
example Request:
Normal : localhost:5000/calc_sum/{"a":1, "b":2}
Injected : localhost:5000/calc_sum/{"a":1, "b:2 ): print("ham") def new_sum(a=1, b=2):return a+b":2 }
Since I'm not near my work, where all my code is I'm unable to test it out. And to be honest that my code example would work. But I hope this can convey what I meant.
I hope you can help me, or at least nudge me in the right direction. I've searched for it, but all I can find are tutorials on "who to use kwargs".
Best regards.

Yes you, but not in URL, try to use arguments like these localhost:5000/calc_sum?func=a+b&a=1&b=2
and to get these arguments you need to do this in flask
#app.route(/<target:string>)
def handle_request(target):
if target == 'calc_sum':
func= request.args.get('func')
a = request.args.get('a')
b = request.args.get('b')
result = exec(func)
exec is used to execute python code in strings

Testing AJAX post in TestApp and Pyramid

I'm trying to write a test for an ajax view...The view is configured like so:
#view_config(name='new', context='resource.Events', renderer='json',
request_method='POST', xhr=True)
def event_view(self):
# ...
In my test, I want to create an ajax post so I try:
extra_environ = {'X_REQUESTED_WITH' : 'XmlHttpRequest'}
# also tried setting HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH
self.testapp.post('/events/new', params=post_params, extra_environ=extra_environ)
But the post never gets routed to my view. The request.is_xhr param never gets set to True.
Should be a simple answer somewhere, but I could not find it in any of the docs, or elsewhere. Can anyone recommend how to do this?
Thanks!

Looks like I wasn't casing 'xmlhttprequest' correctly. Needs to be:
extra_environ = {'HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH' : 'XMLHttpRequest'}
Found this in the code at:
webob/request.py line 472
Unfortunate to need to dig around in the code for this. Also surprised case matters.

In my case it was simply enough to set xhr=True in post request.
self.testapp.post('/events/new', params=post_params, xhr=True)

How would you adblock using Python?

I'm slowly building a web browser in PyQt4 and like the speed i'm getting out of it. However, I want to combine easylist.txt with it. I believe adblock uses this to block http requests by the browser.
How would you go about it using python/PyQt4?
[edit1] Ok. I think i've setup Privoxy. I haven't setup any additional filters and it seems to work. The PyQt4 i've tried to use looks like this
self.proxyIP = "127.0.0.1"
self.proxyPORT= 8118
proxy = QNetworkProxy()
proxy.setType(QNetworkProxy.HttpProxy)
proxy.setHostName(self.proxyIP)
proxy.setPort(self.proxyPORT)
QNetworkProxy.setApplicationProxy(proxy)
However, this does absolutely nothing and I cannot make sense of the docs and can not find any examples.
[edit2] I've just noticed that i'f I change self.proxyIP to my actual local IP rather than 127.0.0.1 the page doesn't load. So something is happening.

I know this is an old question, but I thought I'd try giving an answer for anyone who happens to stumble upon it. You could create a subclass of QNetworkAccessManager and combine it with https://github.com/atereshkin/abpy. Something kind of like this:
from PyQt4.QtNetwork import QNetworkAccessManager
from abpy import Filter
adblockFilter = Filter(file("easylist.txt"))
class MyNetworkAccessManager(QNetworkAccessManager):
def createRequest(self, op, request, device=None):
url = request.url().toString()
doFilter = adblockFilter.match(url)
if doFilter:
return QNetworkAccessManager.createRequest(self, self.GetOperation, QNetworkRequest(QUrl()))
else:
QNetworkAccessManager.createRequest(self, op, request, device)
myNetworkAccessManager = MyNetworkAccessManager()
After that, set the following on all your QWebView instances, or make a subclass of QWebView:
QWebView.page().setNetworkAccessManager(myNetworkAccessManager)
Hope this helps!

Is this question about web filtering?
Then try use some of external web-proxy, for sample Privoxy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privoxy).

The easylist.txt file is simply plain text, as demonstrated here: http://adblockplus.mozdev.org/easylist/easylist.txt
lines beginning with [ and also ! appear to be comments, so it is simply a case of sorting through the file, and searching for the correct things in the url/request depending upon the starting character of the line in the easylist.txt file.

Privoxy is solid. If you want it to be completely API based though, check out the BrightCloud web filtering API as well.
