Looks like the error message from the previous post was stripped because of its brackets. Here it is again:

HttpError 403 when requesting https://www.googleapis.com/webmasters/v3/sites/{URL}/query?alt=json returned “User does not have sufficient permission for site ‘{URL}’. See also: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2451999.”

googleapiclient.errors.HttpError:

It seems to be working for home pages only. For example, I can access the data for http://www.example.com/, but will receive the given error message for http://www.example.com/directory/index.html. Does anyone have an idea why that is and what to do about it?

I have a question about this statement. Using the Acquisition->Search Engine Optimization->Queries report in Google Analytics, I get slightly different results than the Keywords tool in Search Console, specifically for CTR.

Any ideas why?

Nice Alex. Anyone needing to download to CSV can use your script. My script actually dumps to CSV and then writes to SQL, but I think people will appreciate not having to modify/write their own code 🙂

Yep. client_secrets.json is opened on init(). Check line 76 of source code: https://github.com/google/google-api-python-client/blob/master/googleapiclient/sample_tools.py

I believe it’s called in Googles’ library and isn’t actually referenced in the script. It’s just a static file required for auth. Put in the same directory as the script.

For instance, I’m assuming it’s somewhere here:
service, flags = sample_tools.init(
argv, ‘webmasters’, ‘v3′, __doc__, __file__, parents=[argparser],
scope=’https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters.readonly’)

But that is *a lot* different from the other found here: https://developers.google.com/webmaster-tools/v3/quickstart/quickstart-python
