How to associate a developer account with an Adsense account?

[sem at become]

I created a project on API console, turned on the Adsense management API, created client id ,secret etc. using  developer account X.

The Adsense account, however, is created using another email address Y.

I want to access the reports of this Adsense account using developer account X.

I am getting the OAuth2 token manually and use it to access the report. I keep getting 404 Not found. I tried few other ways of getting the report I get "User does not have an Adsense account".

Google rep told us X and Y are associated. Are we doing something wrong here?

It's all java.

Hello there,

There is no need to associate a developer account with an AdSense
account. You need the developer account for your application to be
able to use the API, then you can request to the API the data for
users that authorize your application.

So in your case, you need to be logged in as user Y when you authorize
your application, so that you will be able to request data for that
same user.

Check the documentation for OAuth 2.0, you will find very useful
sequence diagrams describing the different OAuth 2.0 authorization
flows:

Cheers,
Silvano
