hi there, thanks for those links. we have reviewed those, and we still have questions. specifically, the rmf guide mentions that tools offering very limited and specialized functionality do not have to meet any creation and management requirements, but then goes on to suggest that tools providing data related to the TrafficEstimatorSerive have to provide ALL functionality listed in the rmf table: so if all we want to do is query that service for two values, which of these recommendations do we adhere to? were we to provide access to our tool to anonymous third parties, it wouldnt be strictly for internal use, what would our requirements be in this case?
which leads to my confusion about your answer to my second question. you mention that we should implement the application flow of authentication, but the documentation indicates that in this model the user does indeed have to manually authenticate via a login screen. only once, i get that, but in our case even once would not be acceptable. is not what we really want a service account for authentication where credentials are read from a file accessible only by our tool? i should mention that this tool will run on php, browser-based. thanks for all your help. kind regards, -rob -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and Google+: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ https://plus.google.com/+GoogleAdsDevelopers/posts =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
