Hi there I work for a data agency that processes customer data and runs email and ad campaigns on their behalf. We have a requirement to create custom audiences within clients AdWords account using a console app that sits within our domain. I managed to get this working with test accounts where the api calls required:
- Developer token - client id - client secret - refresh token - Ad account id This requires the client to have a google console app. In order to take this into production the client needs to publish the app and from what I have read they also need to apply for a production developer token too. This is a very complicated process in order to simply create custom audiences within the client account that they can use for targeted ads. My questions: 1. Is there a simpler process for simply connecting to the Adwords API that maybe requires just a developer token (I am concerned that maybe I have missed something)? 2. If the client completes the google ads api token application (https://support.google.com/adspolicy/contact/new_token_application), will this token be sufficient to access the api without requiring the other credentials (clientid, clientsecret, refreshToken)? 3. Currently we are trying to configure this via the client's cloud console account, would a better setup be to create a cloud console app under my companies ownership and then get our own app approved. Then create a ads manager account and then link the clients ads manager account under that(apologies I am thinking aloud)? Would this allow us to upload the customer audience to that clients account? Sorry if this is long winded but I am finding the whole process very confusing and I am hoping some seasoned Ads professionals can point me in the correct direction. -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum" group.
