Inquiries regarding issuance of additional tokens

[media dmc]

Hello

This is jungwook Kim at DMC media Regarding the issuance of Google Ads API tokens, we would like to ask you the following questions. Our company has been issued an API token with general access rights to the top-level MCC. However, we want to collect data from the sub MCC(that is mapped under Top-level MCC). So, we would like to additionally issue a developer token to the Sub MCC. However, according to the API Center, it is difficult to issue multiple tokens between one company or MCCs that are tied to each other. Inquiries we would like to leve here. Q1. Is it difficult to issue multiple tokens even for Sub MCC?

(Top MCC: 398-851-8378

MCCs that we want to receive additional tokens: 156-600-4847) Q2. Is it possible to choose to extract only the data of accounts mapped to a specific MCC from the top-level MCC?

If it is difficult to get additional tokens, we try to collect sorted data in specific sub MCC

I hope for a quick reply

Best Regards

Hi Jungwook,

Thank you for reaching out to Google Ads API support. Regarding developer tokens, please note that a developer token can be used to access any account in the system. What limits access is the log in credentials that a refresh token is created from. For example, if a...@c.b.com creates a refresh token, then using that generated refresh token  a...@c.b.com can access all accounts that a...@c.b.com would be able to access when logging in to the UI through the API. Any accounts that a...@c.b.com has no access to in the UI won't be accessible to a...@c.b.com in the API.

In light of the above, to control access to hierarchies all that has to be done is not have a...@c.b.com be a user in another MCC hierarchy and then a...@c.b.com won't have any access in another account hierarchy.

Feel free to get back to us.

Regards,

Aryeh Google Ads API Team
