I keep running in to this awful OAuth Verification Failure, it seems to not want to give me an authentication token…?

Here is my app.rb:

require 'adwords_api'
require 'adwords_api/utils'

adwords = AdwordsApi::Api.new
campaign_srv = adwords.service(:CampaignService, :v201109)
campaign_srv.get

Here is my adwords_api.yml:

:authentication:
 :method: OAuth
 :oauth_consumer_key: anonymous
 :oauth_consumer_secret: anonymous
 :developer_token: email@gmail.com++USD
 :user_agent: Ruby Testing
:service:
  :environment: SANDBOX
:connection:
  :enable_gzip: false
  :library:
  :log_level: INFO

Every time I run the app I get this error:

What is going on? Isn’t this sufficient for the adwords sandbox api??

Thank you.

    I am still unsure what the issue is with OAuth, but I found out how to use ‘ClientLogin’ in the sandbox and this worked just fine. All that was needed was to configure my adwords_api.yml to 

    :authentication:
 :method: ClientLogin
 :password: PASSWORD_GOES_HERE
 :email: EMAIL_GOES_HERE
 :developer_token: email@gmail.com++USD
 :user_agent: Ruby Testing
:service:
  :environment: SANDBOX
:connection:
  :enable_gzip: false
  :library:
  :log_level: INFO
