I have tried this link below according to Google instructions with a key at the end that I produced using the account we have on Google.

Protocol OAUTH 1.0 with the key but nothing works it doesn’t works.

What can be the problem ?

https://www.googleapis.com/adsense/v1.1/reports?startDate=2012-06-01&endDate=2012-06-10&dimension=DATE&dimension=AD_UNIT_CODE&metric=PAGE_VIEWS&metric=AD_REQUESTS&metric=CLICKS&metric=EARNINGS&sort=DATE&pp=1&key=mykey

Anyone ? 

Thanks in advanced to all,

Hi Dor,

So, first of all, I would like to recommend you use one of our client libraries instead of coding from scratch, as they help out with a lot of things (including authentication), making your life a lot easier. We also have code examples for several of them. Failing that, it may be a good idea to at least use OAuth 2.0, as OAuth 1.0 is deprecated for the AdSense Management API.

Having said all that, the problem seems to be that you're not performing authentication correctly. Authentication data should be passed as part of the HTTP request, and what the service is complaining about is that this data hasn't been provided. Also, the AdSense Management API does't support "simple key access", which seems to be what you're using, since it accesses sensitive user data. Here's the OAuth 1.0 documentation for web-based applications: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Sérgio

Thanks again for you quick reply. Can you recommend or give me a link to on of your client libraries instead of coding from scratch as you said ? 

Regards,

Dor

Hi Dor,

Of course! You can find the links to the client library projects at https://developers.google.com/adsense/management/libraries, and some introductory content on using several of them at https://developers.google.com/adsense/management/complete_guide.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
