Re: Adwords Tokens
please direct your complaints about token review process to * adwordsapi-tok...@google.com* adwordsapi-tok...@google.com. And then? They do not answer anymore after a while.. I can only repeat once again: We had (and have) lots of campaigns for our clients. We have also presented the API Team our API application to the last detail and we have invested a lot of money and time into our API application. Sitefactor has nothing to do with our Adwords API application and our Adwords Agency team. I still don´t understand the problem. Give us the API Access und Google will see: Big campaigns - managed by a good API application. And we already have a good campaign history in our account. I can say once again: I've read in lots of forums that many others have the same problem. And I have also spoken directly to lots of people with the same problem (last time on SMX Munich 2012). There exists absolutely no understanding that the Adwords API team are treating the API activation in such a restrictive way now. And I still have the impression that Google doesn´t want to have new Api users or only some very big agencies. I still have invest a lots of money and time in the development of the API application and I would never accepted this Am Dienstag, 27. März 2012 08:53:12 UTC+2 schrieb Anash P.

Re: Adwords Tokens
Hi Anash, Can you shed any light on what the expected wait time is for token approval? Is it normal for the process to take several weeks? If so, it might be nice to mention so when people apply for a token. We are still waiting for a decision on our application for an API token, and our wait has already been several weeks.

Re: Adwords Tokens
For the record, I'm not a Google employee, so don't actually know why your specific application was rejected. However, I do a lot of work with the AdWords API, so I'm trying to get my head around the details of the TOS. I came across your post that suggested that the results of the TrafficEstimator service should be considered reporting data, and as such couldn't be disclosed to a third-party; this interested me because I hadn't considered such data to be part of the AdWords Reporting Functionality, so wanted to get to the bottom of the statements you made. I went to your site to see if it could shed some light that would validate your claims, and I quickly came across sitefactor and noticed it provided Google Ranking reports; now, if you really have a way to get accurate ranking data in volume without scraping the Google SERP's or using a service that does the same, then I think you should probably forget about the API application and move into providing your data in a feed because it would be far more profitable. However, most people with such data are getting it by scraping Google, which is against the AdWords API TOS. I suppose the specific wording just mentions that an API client shouldn't be doing the scraping (or interfacing with another tool that does), but you can see how a company like Google could come to the conclusion that a developer willing to violate one of their well known policies isn't one that should be considered a good choice for a partner; I certainly wouldn't -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups AdWords API Forum group.
