Trying to get approved for an Adwords API token

[Curtis Blackmore]

Hey there,

I'm at a loss in figuring out how to get approved for a Google Adwords API token. I have software that takes the auto-suggested keywords from Amazon and then pulls Search Volume, CPC, ect.. from Google. This way it gives my clients a quick and easy list of long-tail keywords that they can then use to advertise inside Google Adwords.

What do I need to do about getting approved? I can modify my tool to fit Googles needs. I just need some direction -- the emails back and forth have been of no help.

Thanks,
Curtis B

Hi,

You need to create a Production AdWords Manager account, if you haven't already done so by following the instructions provided here and apply for API access from your production manager account by following this guide. Please note that you'll be granted a developer token with test access which can be used to target test accounts. You need to submit the basic access application form to get your developer token approved. After token approval, you'll be able to target production accounts as well. If you get stuck please indicate which step you're having difficulties with or you may reach out to our AdWords API Compliance Team directly.

Best Regards,
