Adwords Api Usage without manager account

[mubbashar husain]

Hi All,

I am trying to figure out that if the google adwords api can be for individual account? Or it need to be a manager account 

Like i want to develop an application where people can authorize the account using oauth2 and i get the access of their google adwords account. then i call the api on that account ? is this possible

Or i can only access the adwords accounts that are under manager account?

Do the account under manager account need to allows access via oauth2 ?

thanks!

Hello,

The developer token is needed to access the AdWords API. You need to create the manager account (MCC) and then you could apply for developer token. Once you have manager account (MCC), you could link one or more AdWords account to the manager account. The AdWords account linked will use the OAuth2.0 authentication and authorization for API call. Please check out our OAuth2.0 guide and getting started guide for more details.

Thanks,
