Re: OAuth 2.0 and link between MCC and new Customers Accounts
Hello Guys, I need some assistance here as well as I am facing the same kind of issues. The situation is the client's account is not linked to our MCC account. We got the refresh token for the client's account through the OAuth process. Could you please let us know the step we can follow with some code sample how to get the ClientCustomerId for the client which is not linked to our MCC. From the earlier post I did not get the exact steps how to get the values from the API call. Thanks, Bikram.

Re: OAuth 2.0 and link between MCC and new Customers Accounts
Hi, You will want to use the ManagedCustomerService to get a list of accounts linked to your MCC. The InfoService has been deprecated (in the past it could be used to translate a clientEmail into a clientCustomerId, but the ManagedCustomerService is a better way to get a list of accounts). - Kevin Winter AdWords API Team On Tuesday, March 19, 2013 8:32:09 AM UTC-4, Taher Dhilawala wrote: > > Hi Stamatina, > > How do I use InfoService to get list of accounts (details) linked to my > mcc account.

Re: OAuth 2.0 and link between MCC and new Customers Accounts
Hi Stamatina, How do I use InfoService to get list of accounts (details) linked to my mcc account. What I understood from documentation of InfoService is that it only gives API usage for all the customers linked to the MCC accounts. Please correct if I understood wrongly.

When you authenticate with oauth2 you get 2 tokens - an access token and a refresh one. You can effectively forget the former as it is regenerated using the latter. These tokens can be obtained when logging in as any account - so you can get them for the mcc account or you can get them individually for each client account. If you obtained the authenticated and got the tokens as the MCC user, you to access any of the client accounts, but to do so you will need to specify the client id when you create an adwords session. If you don't specify the client ID, it will connect to the MCC and you will be limited to querying account details only. Use AdWordsSession.Builder().withClientCustomerId(xxx). To do this, use the oauth example but set the client ID to your MCC client ID. If you obtained the tokens from a client for a specific client account you can only access that account and won't need to specify the client ID. I suspect if this is the case, the api doesn't return the client ID as it fixed??

Re: OAuth 2.0 and link between MCC and new Customers Accounts
Hi Stamatina, If the client account is linked to your MCC account, then you can use your OAuth token to a) get a list of all accounts and b) query those accounts via the API. The customer has already granted you access via linking so you don't need to have them grant via OAuth. They could still additionally do an OAuth grant (anybody correct me if that's not so). Either way you use OAuth 2.0. I don't believe there is a non-deprecated alternative to OAuth 2.0. - Chris On Monday, January 14, 2013 12:18:58 PM UTC-5, Stamatina Thomaidou wrote: > > Returning to my initial question: > > Let's say I am an MCC Account. > If one of my many different linked client customer accounts tries to log > in to my application and give me access to his data through OAuth 2.0 how > can I retrieve with the usage of the OAuth 2.0 *automatically* his > ClientCustomerId? > Maybe I have not understand correctly the usefulness of the OAuth 2.0 > protocol. > I thought that getting all these authorization tokens from the OAuth 2.0 I > would at the same time be able to retrieve the ClientCustomerId. > > In general, what information does the OAuth 2.0 provide you and why is it > better to use it? > -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Re: OAuth 2.0 and link between MCC and new Customers Accounts
Returning to my initial question: Let's say I am an MCC Account. If one of my many different linked client customer accounts tries to log in to my application and give me access to his data through OAuth 2.0 how can I retrieve with the usage of the OAuth 2.0 *automatically* his ClientCustomerId? Maybe I have not understand correctly the usefulness of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. I thought that getting all these authorization tokens from the OAuth 2.0 I would at the same time be able to retrieve the ClientCustomerId.

Re: OAuth 2.0 and link between MCC and new Customers Accounts
Hi, if you are using oauth2, you can get rid of the ads.properties file
altogether. Use the oauth2 example to generate your refresh token - After
the line with authorizationFlow.createAndStoreCredential, simply save the
value of credential.getRefreshToken(). When you run this make sure you put
your mcc account client/customer id into the ads.properties file.
Alternatively you can get a refresh token for each adwords account and save
that, but the using a mcc one saves switching each time.
Once you have a refresh token, you can use the following in your client
code:
GoogleCredential credential = new
GoogleCredential.Builder().setTransport(HTTP_TRANSPORT)
.setJsonFactory(JSON_FACTORY)
.setClientSecrets(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET)
.build();
// TODO - get this from the db for each account if we don't manage
them all under the same mcc
credential.setRefreshToken(getRefreshTokenForCustomer(ADWORDS_CLIENT_ID);
AdWordsSession session = new
AdWordsSession.Builder().withDeveloperToken(ADWORDS_DEV_TOKEN).withUserAgent("UserAgent").withClientCustomerId(ADWORDS_CLIENT_ID).withOAuth2Credential(credential).build();
where the CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET are from the api console and the
ADWORDS_CLIENT_ID is the 9ish digit adwords account number and
ADWORDS_DEV_TOKEN is you developer token for the mcc account.
You can pass any other options in a similar fashion...
Hope that helps

Re: OAuth 2.0 and link between MCC and new Customers Accounts
Hey Stamatina, I'm not sure which language you are using, but here is what I'm doing in java. In ads.properties you can see a section:- *1.* api.adwords.clientCustomerId=INSERT_CLIENT_CUSTOMER_ID_HERE You can define one of the client_ids that are connected to your MCC account. Now, next time if you want to change the client Id to other ids that are present in MCC account, you can simply do it by creating adwords session and set the id in that session...like this:- String clientLoginToken = new ClientLoginTokens.Builder().forApi(ClientLoginTokens.Api.ADWORDS).fromFile().build().requestToken(); AdWordsSession session = new AdWordsSession.Builder().fromFile().withClientLoginToken(clientLoginToken).build(); session.setClientCustomerId(clientCustomerId) AdWordsServices adWordsServices = new AdWordsServices(); *2.* You can also use OAuth 2.0 for that. You don't have to refresh it all the time. In ads.properties set the refresh oauth token true api.adwords.refreshOAuth2Token=true *3.* I'm not sure on this one but I think you have to link the new client Id with your MCC account. *4.* If you want to refresh the authentications manually then I guess after every 60 minutes you have to refresh the credentials. 5. I'm also facing this issue regarding storing the credential in the database so that I can access it and refresh the same credential again and again. I hope this helps.
