Using API commercially

[Gregory Smitherman]

I've been searching and I think I'm just not asking the right questions. Please forgive my ignorance.......

I'm building a commercial app that will require google adwords api for returning keyword data. Currently, I have the app setup so that the user has to get their own adwords api and add it in the settings of the app. 

The marketing guys are telling me that it's confusing for the user and we should just use one api, which would be mine.

Can I do this? Will I get my account banned for too many requests? 

Can someone please explain this to me in a little more detail or at least point me in the right direction???

Hi Gregory,

My apologies if I don't fully understand your concern. For this sentence "I have the app setup so that the user has to get their own adwords api and add it in the settings of the app.", could you confirm if you have an application currently that generates API credentials for the different users? I am confused with term "one api", do you mean the OAuth credentials for this term?

Thanks,

Vincent

Hi Gregory,

A gentle follow up on this. If you still have concerns regarding this, then kindly provide the details that I asked previously.
