Hello,

I am trying to access linked data on a client account from the managerial account via a HTTP GET message.

I am using an approach that worked very well on the testing token, with testing managerial account and testing client account underneath.

I did confirm the linkage on the client account and the account is accessible from the google dashboard, I can see the campaigns and everything when in as a manager.

However, when trying to access the same information via HTTP requests (providing all the necessary credentials of course - same principle I did under testing token circumstances) I get a 403 error.

The message says to include the manager's customer id as the login-customer-id.
I am already doing that, therefore no added value for me in that advice.

I have the Google Ads API enabled, the application is created, I have the Oauth credentials, consent on the client is dealt with and calling the requests with all the required credentials.

Am I forgetting something crucially important? Do I have to include some kind of additional scope (that costs 15000-75000 dollars to aquire)?

Would appreciate any thoughts where to (re)begin debugging this.

Hi Jakub,

Could you please reply privately to author your full request and response? I'll also need the CIDs of the manager and client account you are trying to use.

Thanks,
Anthony
