Dummy data from api

[Leandro Pessoa]

There's one question.

When using test acounts we get a dummy data from when using targetingIdeaService. How to change to production acounts? This depends from a aproved developer token?

Hi Leandro,

To get valid data from TargetingIdeaService, you need make the request to a production account. Developer tokens with test access can only be used to make API requests against a test account. You would need either a basic access or a standard access developer token to make requests against a production account. 

You can apply for basic access for your developer token by submitting the form available here.

The dummy data are caracterized by words like "red herring" or something ever? There's a possibility to api return a little sample from a real data in some case?

Hi Leandro,

Yes, the dummy data returned by TargetingIdeaService will contain words like "red herring" and also the search term used along with random numbers appended to it. Unfortunately, you cannot get real data using test accounts. You would need to make requests to a production account to get valid data.
