Retrieving AdWord's client_customer_id using refresh token

[Kevin Coxe]

Hey everyone,

I am working on a google app that will allow users grant me permission to view their AdWords campaigns.

I wish for it to be a one click sign in. I have it set up using oauth2 so that they are sent to the Google consent form and I am successful in retrieving the access and refresh token.

I see that in the example given in the python client libraries:

https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords/v201502/basic_operations/get_campaigns.py

that there is a googleads.yaml file needed containing the some information.

I am able to retrieve all of the fields needed except for the client_customer_id.

Is there a way for me to retrieve the client_customer_id without needing the customer to enter it from their AdWords dashboard?

Thank you

Hello Kevin,

Yes, you can use CustomerService with client customer ID to retrieve it.
