Doing Adwords ETL for Adwords accouts outside of your MCC

[Ray Curry]

I have currently been doing data ETL for our own Agencies Adwords account and when we get new clients we have them added to our MCC. We are now working with other Agencies and need to do ETL of their accounts but can not have them added to our MCC because they want to stay separated from our account. I would like to do traditional backend ETL without a web app, but if needed I can build a web app and have some sort of google single sign on if needed. In fact that is probably the direction we want to go in the long term to have a new agency sign them selfs up for our ELT process.  How can I accomplish doing ELT for another persons account. Do you just need to switch something out in the YAML or is it a different API permissions setting or something else?

Hi Ray,

Thank you for reaching out. The other accounts could either be linked to your MCC account or they can just create their own OAuth2 credentials and issue the API calls themselves. If their accounts are linked to your MCC account and you have the admin or standard access to their account then you could make calls on behalf of them. Otherwise they need to create the credentials and call the API themselves.


Thanks and regards,

Hi Xiaoming / Google Ads API Team,

If the only way to connect to another company's account is to add them to my MCC that owns the APP API then I will need a smooth way to add them to my MCC. Is there a way using the API that I can implement some sort of single sign on then once they have agreed to add them to my MCC via the API?

I do not want to have the user go into their account and manually add it to my account.   I did not see anything similar under the account management sample section. Please let me know if this is possible with the Google ADS API.

Thanks,

Ray
