Use Adsense Management V2 API with Google API JavaScript client Wa`parent Error

Question

I'm trying to use the google-api-javascript-client with the Adsense Management API to get reports of an authorized account. The login process with OAuth2 is working fine and I can fetch the Adsense Account data associated to the logged-in Google Account. (see generateReportExmaple -> accountList) However when I try to get reports or work with any other resource (site, reports...) I get the following error:

Uncaught (in promise) pB

I found a few examples in the github repo of the api-js-client but they are quite oudated. I'm also confused why the reports object is attached to the accounts object of the gapi client. In all there examples the reports are in the adsense object. In my case all are attached in adsense.accounts.

This is my code:

<!--Add buttons to initiate auth sequence and sign out-->
<button id="authorize-button" style="display: none;">Authorize</button>
<button id="signout-button" style="display: none;">Sign Out</button>

<script>
  const apiKey = 'API_KEY';
  const discoveryDocs = ["https://adsense.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v2"];
  const clientId = 'CLIENT_ID_KEY.apps.googleusercontent.com';
  const scopes = "profile https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adsense https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adsense.readonly";
  
  const authorizeButton = document.getElementById('authorize-button');
  const signoutButton = document.getElementById('signout-button');
  
  function handleClientLoad() {
      gapi.load('client:auth2', initClient);
  }
  
  async function initClient() {
      await gapi.client.init({
          apiKey: apiKey,
          discoveryDocs: discoveryDocs,
          clientId: clientId,
          scope: scopes
      })
      gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance().isSignedIn.listen(updateSigninStatus);
      updateSigninStatus(gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance().isSignedIn.get());
      authorizeButton.onclick = handleAuthClick;
      signoutButton.onclick = handleSignoutClick;
  }
  
  // Here I fetch the data
  async function generateReportExmaple() {
      const accountsList = await gapi.client.adsense.accounts.list() // Result is fine
  
      const savedReports = await gapi.client.adsense.reports.saved.list() // Cannot read property 'saved' of undefined
      
      const savedReportsStrangeError = await gapi.client.adsense.accounts.reports.saved.list() // cb=gapi.loaded_0:1003 Uncaught (in promise) pB {message: "Wa`parent"....
  }
  
  function updateSigninStatus(isSignedIn) {
      if (isSignedIn) {
          authorizeButton.style.display = 'none';
          signoutButton.style.display = 'block';
          generateReportExmaple()
      } else {
          authorizeButton.style.display = 'block';
          signoutButton.style.display = 'none';
      }
  }
  
  function handleAuthClick(event) {
      gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance().signIn();
  }
  
  function handleSignoutClick(event) {
      gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance().signOut();
  }
</script>
<script async defer src="https://apis.google.com/js/api.js" onload="this.onload=function(){};handleClientLoad()"
  onreadystatechange="if (this.readyState === 'complete') this.onload()"></script>

I'm not sure why you're getting such an odd error message, but the two issues you're seeing are explainable as:

The reports.saved.list method only exists in adsense v1.4, and you're using v2, so the adsense.reports Javascript object doesn't exist.
The accounts.reports.saved.list method has a required parent parameter that specifies the account that you're accessing the saved reports for. (This is the same value as one of the accounts[].name in the result you get from calling accounts.list, for example.)

In the meantime, I raised github.com/google/google-api-javascript-client/issues/766 for the inscrutable error message.
