Google Ads API

[gowtham ben mythdre]

Hi there, 

I am trying to understand about using Google Ads developer token. With the help of it, I can generate authorisation code and exchage that to get access token. Which is workig great when trying to do any API query within the Ads account developer token was created. 

I would like to know whether I can use the developer token to authorise aother Google Ads accout by authorisig the client with required scopes. 

Example: Can I use the developer token created under User X's Ads account to authorise User Y with certain scopes to get a access token and perform API operation without needing to create a developer token under User Y's Ads account.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm from the Google Ads API team.

As per our documentation, kindly note that the manager account you select has no effect on the set of Google Ads accounts that a developer token can access. It is just used for holding the developer token. Furthermore, the token itself can access any account as long as you have proper OAuth credentials. Having said that, I can confirm that the developer token can be used to access other accounts, however, you have to make sure that the user (email address where OAuth credentials were generated) has access to the account. Here's a documentation to learn how to configure your Google Cloud project and generate OAuth credentials

Let us know how it goes on your end. If you encounter any issues, please provide the complete request and response logs with request ID via Reply privately to author option so we can further investigate.
