Hi,

I am exploring Google Ads API. As per the documentation - https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/first-call/dev-token, I signed up for test " test manager account" but I am not able to see the API center options under setup.

Due to this, I am not able get developer token. Please help.

Hi Achyuta,

Thank you for bringing this up. Only a non test MCC account can house a developer token. Any non approved developer token can access any test Ads account in the Ads system and any approved developer token can access any account in the Ads system, so your developer token from your production MCC account can be used. What limits access to specific accounts is the refresh token used when calling the API.
