Net::Google::WebmasterTools: GWMT error: 404 Not Found

[Frosch]

Hello,

when trying to use Net::Google::WebmasterTools I am getting the following error:

https://www.googleapis.com/webmasters/v3/sites/https://www.mySite.com/
+searchAnalytics/query
GWMT error: 404 Not Found Not Found at ./Google_Search_Console_API.pl 
+line 43, <DATA> line 2231.

Here the used script (the credentials in this example like $client_id, $client_secret and $refresh_token have been certainly substituted by my own credentials).

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use Net::Google::WebmasterTools;
use Net::Google::WebmasterTools::OAuth2;

# Insert your website URL here.
my $site_url    = "https://www.mySite.com";
# See GETTING STARTED for how to get a client id, client secret, and
# refresh token
my $client_id     = "123456789012.apps.googleusercontent.com";
my $client_secret = "rAnDoMsEcReTrAnDoMsEcReT";
my $refresh_token = "RaNdOmSeCrEtRaNdOmSeCrEt";

my $wmt = Net::Google::WebmasterTools->new;

# Authenticate
my $oauth = Net::Google::WebmasterTools::OAuth2->new(
    client_id     => $client_id,
    client_secret => $client_secret,
);

my $token = $oauth->refresh_access_token($refresh_token);
$wmt->token($token);


# Build request
my $req = $wmt->new_request(
    site_url         => "$site_url",
    report_name  => "searchAnalytics",
    method     => "query",
    dimensions     => ['country','device'],
    search_type => 'web',
    start_date  => "2016-07-01",
    end_date    => "2016-07-20",
    row_limit => 1000,
);

# Send request
my $res = $wmt->retrieve($req);
die("GWMT error: " . $res->error_message) if !$res->is_success;

# Print results

print
    "Results: 1 - ", $res->items_per_page,
    " of ", $res->total_results, "\n\n";

for my $row (@{ $res->rows }) {
    print
        $row->get_source,  ": ",
        $row->get_visits,  " visits, ",
        $row->get_bounces, " bounces\n";
}

print
    "\nTotal: ",
    $res->totals("visits"),  " visits, ",
    $res->totals("bounces"), " bounces\n";

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Best regards, Frosch

Point 2 of this bug report seems to indicate that the queried site should be passed in URL-encoded. So maybe try with (roughly, untested) the following transformation:

use URL::Encode;
$site_url = url_encode($site_url);
my $req = $wmt->new_request( ... )

Thanks Corion, for your effort.

With URL::Encode I am getting this error now:

Undefined subroutine &main::url_encode called at ./Google_Search_Conso
+le_API.pl line 12, <DATA> line 2231.

Sorry - it seems you need to explicitly import url_encode:

use URL::Encode 'url_encode';
