Hi, I've just got back to working on an integration with the Adwords API, 
and realized it had to be upgraded (from v201109).

This was previously a prototype application, that is now scheduled to come 
to life, and what I've noticed is that there's been a big leap from v201109 
to v201209 in terms of authentication.

By reading Takeshi's reply 
here<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/adwords-api/Q4RlHPGNLzU/ZWoc38H05gsJ>, 
it became clear that the entire concept of sandbox has now been phased out, 
and we now work on the basis of having a test account.

Initially on my prototype I was only using ClientLogin as 
the AuthorizationMethod through a test account. However, with the new 
authentication I've realized I will actually have to use our actual live 
MCC account with a test account as described 
here<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/test-accounts>
.

All well and good, I've got the account created, and have requested 
permission to use it as a test account. However using the live credentials 
on:

<add key="AuthorizationMethod" value="ClientLogin" />
<add key="Email" value="xxx"/>
<add key="Password" value="xxxxx"/>

Isn't an option... :-(

I then thought about requesting an OAuth key pair in order to use them on 
my application instead. All the documentation I found about getting one of 
those seems a bit rough around the edges, so I'm not really sure how to get 
one of those without actually making my application request it. Ideally, 
I'd like to go somewhere, generate it, and then use it on my config file as 
such. 

<add key="AuthorizationMethod" value="OAuth" />
<add key="OAuthConsumerKey" value="INSERT_YOUR_OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY_HERE" />
<add key="OAuthConsumerSecret" 
value="INSERT_YOUR_OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET_HERE" />

Is that even possible? If so, where can I generate the OAuth keys?

Thanks in advance,

Marcos
