Hi Derek, The simplest thing to do would be to use https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/ to generate a refresh token and an access token. The scope to use is https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords.
Once you get the refresh token, it can be used to obtain an access token that expires every hour. Use the access token in the Authorization header to make API calls. If you need the detailed logs, take a look at https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2WebServer?hl=en. Look at the offline flow that obtains a refresh token. About urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob: You can use that as a redirect URI iff the OAuth project type is marked as installed application. So you need to fix the project type in the Google Developer console. I would also recommend https://github.com/googleads/googleads-dotnet-lib/wiki/How-to-create-OAuth2-client-id-and-secret as a guide. I think the UI is a bit dated, but the flow is unchanged. Let me know if you need more help. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor. P.S: Just wondering, have you tried using AdWords Scripts? Does that work for you? https://developers.google.com/adwords/scripts/ On Friday, September 4, 2015 at 2:03:59 PM UTC-4, Derek M wrote: > > The last time I worked on AdWords API was about two years ago when > ClientLogin was still supported for authorization.
