Google Ads API Center - no access

[Empty]

Hello, I'm creator of my google ads account, that was created in 2020 and I can't access API Center - there are no such option to select under tools or in search.

I've tried creating new ads account and I have became a manager automatically of that account. 

But my all actions are ongoing on old account, so I need API access to that one. 

Is there a solution for that?

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team. 

By reviewing your concern, I understand that you are not able to view the API center option in your manager account. Kindly note that only the production manager account has the API center. If it's a test account, note that Test accounts are closed by default since they're not allowed to run ads or set up billing information. I would recommend you kindly refer to the “Obtain a developer token” documentation for more information.

However, if you are in a client account then you may note that you can see the manager account associated with your account in TOOLS AND SETTINGS > Access and security > Managers. You may also use the sample below query to see the manager account of your client account.

SELECT customer_manager_link.manager_customer FROM customer_manager_link

With the below provided query, you can determine whether your account is a manager account or a client account. If the 'manager' field is retrieved as "false" it indicates a client account and if it's fetched as "true" it signifies a manager account.

SELECT customer.manager, customer.test_account FROM customer

I hope this helps. Kindly get back to us if you have any further questions related to the Google Ads API.
