Can I perform OAuth for AdWords through an executable file?

[Matthew Gherman]

Hi all, I am trying to create a .exe file to complete the authorization process but can't quite figure out how to complete this task. I am attempting to do this currently through using a service account but the steps for this process don't seem to be laid out. Can anyone help with this task? I know that this is not the recommended flow, but this is the only way things will work for the implementation we are using. The implementation cannot be using the console to open a website and authorize through the site. We are trying to use this to authorize and then transfer offline conversion call data from our database to AdWords. Please let me know if anyone has suggestions or documentation for this kind of set up.

I believe that the service account method is the best route for this process but if anyone has suggestions otherwise please let me know. But keep in mind that the process needs to take place in a console and cannot be done through a web site

Hi Matthew,

You should be able to set this up with an installed app. There are details on how to set it up here. Please let me know if you run into issues.

Hi Anthony, I am not getting the error above. Where do I find my import conversion names from my account?

I am currently using the name of conversion actions for the conversion name, would this be correct?
