QuotaCheckError.DEVELOPER_TOKEN_NOT_APPROVED for test account

[Alix BelugaBear]

Hello,

I have followed the instruction in order to test the Adword API:

- Created a "production" adword manager account

- Got an Developer token

- Created a "test" adword manager account

- Created OAUTH2 Credentials for this account

- Got the refresher token with this account 

- Tried to do some basic actions that comes with the PHP example AdwordAPI package but still get QuotaCheckError.DEVELOPER_TOKEN_NOT_APPROVED

I also tried using OAUTH2 credentials for production account and getRefresherToken, but same issue (which makes sense).

However I don't understand if I have to link my production and test account somehow?

Regards,

Alix

Hi Alix,

The DEVELOPER_TOKEN_NOT_APPROVED error you encountered indicates that you are using an unapproved developer token to make calls against a production account. Make sure that the clientCustomerId that you entered in your property file is from a test client account. If you haven't created a test client account, you could use the Google Ads UI to create a test client account under your test manager account.

If your issue persists after doing the suggestion, kindly provide your SOAP request and response logs via Reply privately to author so I can further check.

Thanks,

Luis

{"AdWordsApiException: Exception of type 'Google.Api.Ads.AdWords.Lib.AdWordsApiException' was thrown. \r\n\r\nDeveloper token is not approved for production access, and the customer is attempting to access a production account.. (Error: QuotaCheckError.DEVELOPER_TOKEN_NOT_APPROVED, FieldPath: , Trigger: <null>)\r\n\r\n"}

but as per my knowledge

 All client accounts created under the test manager account will be automatically marked as test accounts.
