Hello, I am attempting to utilize the Google Ads Pending Developer Token on a Test Account. I followed this guide <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/first-call/test-accounts#create> which states the following important details:
- " If prompted, sign in with a Google Account <https://www.google.com/account/about/> that isn't linked to your production Google Ads manager account <https://ads.google.com/home/tools/manager-accounts/>. There is also a link to create a new Google Account if you need to do so." - "While signed in to your test manager account, create a *test client account*." - "Create a few test *campaigns"* - "Take note of the *client customer ID*" - "Use the developer token of your production manager account when making requests against the test manager account. Even if it's not approved yet, the token will still work on test accounts, including the ones just created." I did this exactly. I've: 1. Created a new Google account for the purpose of creating a Google Ads test account - not in any way associated with out production account 2. Created the Google Ads Manager Test Account 3. Created a Google Ads test client account 4. Created several test campaigns 5. Used the Productions Pending Developer Token to try and query the test account I am using the client library for Python, and I am utilizing a Google Service Account for my authentication: [image: 2022-10-03 16_34_47-Untitled.ipynb (3) - JupyterLab and 4 more pages - Work - Microsoft​ Edge.png] Yet, when I try to run get_campaigns.py <https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-python/blob/main/examples/basic_operations/get_campaigns.pyosoft%E2%80%8B%20Edge.png>, I'm confronted with an authentication error. Here is that error: *```Request with ID "xxxx[censored]xxxx" failed with status "UNAUTHENTICATED" and includes the following errors: Error with message "User in the cookie is not a valid Ads user.".* *```* So this makes me wonder, do I need to add the test client account to my production manager account? Attempted to "link" the accounts using "Link an existing account" within Google Ads provides another error. Here is that error: *```You can't link this account because the manager and client account types are not compatible.```* So what's going on here? Am I mistaken to think the test client account and production manager account need to be linked? I also tried linking the test manager account with the production manger account, and I got the same error. Can someone please explain what I'm going wrong? Also, to Google, there is no documentation I can find on the "*manager and client account types are not compatible*" error. Can we please get a page up describing what causes this?
