I have used adwords for years, and spend a very large sum of money on
it every year. Now I want to use the google API and applied for a
developers token, which I got right away. The letter said thai I could
expect activation within 1-2 weeks, this is almost 4 weeks ago, and
still no activation. Then I tried contacting the adwords-team, where I
get the reply that email support is not available for API. I do not
want support, I want to be activated, they seem to have forgotten me.
How do I explain to google that I want them to look at my application?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

There are a few reasons your API developer token may not be working.
The best way to investigate is to log into the AdWords web interface
with your MCC credentials and navigate to "My Account" -> "AdWords API
Center". There should be some alert boxes at the top of the page that
will give you information about your tokens and their status.

One of the most common causes for inactive tokens is not having
entered billing information. Check that you have correct billing
information entered on the screen "My Account" -> "Billing
Preferences".

There is no problem with my billing info.

The AdWords API-center alertboxes say something that roughly
translates into:
Your developer-information is about to be evaluated.

It has never been active - I am waiting for the activation.

Hi keesjan,

There is no need to get new tokens, all v13 tokens will work with
v2009.

Dane,

I have reviewed your tokens and they should be active now. Please log
back into the AdWords web interface with your MCC account and confirm
that your tokens are active.

one?

Hi Birger,

Your existing application tokens are listed as approved in the AdWords
system. Please try using them and let me know if you have any
problems.

Hi Advisor

I tried using them and they work just fine.

I guess it is a translation problem in the API-center. The danish word
"afvist!" translates indo "denied!" And this is the status I see.

Thank you very much!

regards
Birger Breum
