Thanks a lot for the lightening fast reply. I will look over there. Another issue where I am stuck is, "AdSense Host API access request" it asks for "Unique passcode (shared with you via email) *"

 

I followed your earlier reply: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adsense-api/FO4SwYOqs8k

 

The thing is, I am a developer and the account was created by my boss who does not have much technical knowledge. Can you let me know where shall he look for this passcode? Any particular string or text to search for in email subject/content?

Hi there,

Yes, things now happen through the APIs console and OAuth 2.0.

Examples are still being reviewed by the client library authors, but you can take a look at the ongoing code review at https://codereview.appspot.com/6535054/ . Do bear in mind that this code is meant to go against the trunk version of the client library, not 0.5.0.

Cheers,

Sérgio

Thanks Sérgio,

 

In AdSense API v3 it was AdSense account login which was used for authentication but seems now authentication is done using APIs console right?

 

I downloaded google-api-php-client-0.5.0 but it has minimal examples dealing with AdSense implemenation (Account Creation / Association, Creating Ad Units etc.). Is there a guide / example specific to this verison of AdSense?

Hi there,

I'm afraid that's a bit outside of my hands, as this is handled by the sales team when performing a business review of your proposal. Please send an email to adsenseap...@google.com asking for the status of your review; the sales team there should be able to help further.

Cheers,

Sérgio

Thanks again. I will look into it.

 

Few more questions:

 

#1 https://developers.google.com/adsense/host/complete_guide

 

Here it mentions

require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/contrib/apiAdsensehostService.php';

but in google-api-php-client-0.5.0 there is no such file.

 

The example on this guide is different than the one in google-api-php-client-0.5.0/examples/adsense/index.php

 

 

 

#2 https://developers.google.com/adsense/host/signup

 

I could not find any function "associationsessions.start" in client library google-api-php-client-0.5.0

 

 

#3 What I am confiused is, in "Host API Signup Flow" https://developers.google.com/adsense/host/signup

 

It says

 

Once you've stored the account ID, you have all the information you need to manage the user. You can now use it to make API calls specific to them, such as checking their AdSense account status with accounts.get or managing their ad units with the accounts.adunits collection

Where does OAuth comes in picture in this process?

Hi Ashesh,

Let me answer your questions inline:

This documentation is outdated, I'm afraid, and will be removed soon. To use the AdSense Host API in PHP, make sure you use the trunk version of the client library, not 0.5.0.

As with any API that accesses protected user data, you must give the application access to your data. In this case, I would recommend:

1- You create your API project, with access type "installed application"

2 - You authenticate against the API using your application or a small script, with your host account, and saved the returned refresh token

3 - You use the stored refresh token to make requests with your application in the future

Thanks a lot Sérgio for being just a helpful person.

 

I have got enough material to work on. Might bother you again if I get stuck :)

Hi there,

Thank you, good to hear the video was helpful! :)

Your entry only seems to have come in today, I'm afraid. We'll be setting you up with your new sandbox account early next week, hope that works for you.

Cheers,

Sérgio

I am stuck at API console still showing "Request access" link against "AdSense Host API". I have already filled and submitted the form few times and did it again just now.

 

Can you please help me with this?

[Ashesh Bharadwaj]

Thanks Sérgio for the prompt reply. Not an issue.

 

I am still struggling to get a working example for AdSense publisher signup. Instead of going through the REST implementation directly I was inclidned using the Google client library but it seems the library http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/downloads/detail?name=google-api-php-client-0.6.0.tar.gz&can=2&q= is still not functional.

 

Is it possible to have a working example for the following page:

 

https://developers.google.com/adsense/host/signup

Hi there,

The PHP client library hasn't done a release since adding support for the AdSense Host API, but it is there; you'll just need to check out the current version of the repository instead of downloading a package. Here are some details on how to do it: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/source/checkout

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Sérgio
