Master MCC -How does this affect my API?

[Thalea Wohlers]

Dear Adwords API Forum,

our company is considering to change our MCC structure.

We currently have 1 MCC and within are all country accounts.

As we are growing, we would like to create a Master MCC, with all countries below & GDN/SEA accounts below that.

Does this change the way we get data from Adwords?

Thanks for your help,

Thalea

Hi Thalea, 

The impact of changing the account structure would depend on who authenticates the API call. The master MCC will be able to access the sub MCCs corresponding to the countries as well as the adWords accounts under the each sub MCC. The sub MCC will have access to all adWords accounts under that sub MCC. The guide on Managing Accounts explains that with examples. Apart from using the right set of OAuth credentials and the client customer Id of the target account, there should not be any difference in the way you access the accounts via the API. Let me know if you have any additional questions. 

Thanks,
