Ok, I found the issue by reverse engineering the PHP library. My HTTP headers where "Authorization: GoogleLogin Auth=XXXXXXXX" when it should have been "Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=XXXXXXXX"! My mistake, but I'm curious why this causes a problem for AdWords but the same code doesn't cause any problems for the Analytics API.
I can also confirm that you can indeed download reports without a developer token. However, due to the recent changes outline here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adwords-api/sHvSoAQTy54 It is no longer possible to download a report defined in the UI, this leaves me dead in the water as I have no way of defining the report through the API without a Developer token. I've wasted several days of development because Google couldn't be bothered to update the documentation. Both AdWords and the related API is a paid for service, how can Google justify this given that the Analytics API is free, better documented and supported!?
