Can't get refresh token

[johanne...@chads.io]

I'm using Ruby v201402 and I've never had problems generating a refresh token for OAuth2. Today (29.09) I needed to authorize a new Adwords Account (the last one was authorized 3 weeks ago) and it just doesn't work. I get an auth token and I can access the Adwords Account with this token but I don't get a refresh_token.

Also when performing the authorize operation (through the https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth URL) I don't see a page where the requested permissions are listed. I'm instantly redirected back to my application.

Any help is appreciated.

Best regards

So a short update. I used a different MCC-Admin user to grant permission and this time it worked. Now I don't know why it is not working with the other account. It used to work for years. And the account is still very much active and I can login and work with it as MCC-Admin.

Update 2: Using a new MCC-Account only works for one Adwords Account. Authorizing a second Adwords Account does not work, or better: does not generate a refresh_token. Of course the most prominent difference is the immediate redirect without the permissions page.

Johannes,

Have you had a chance to review the AdWords API authentication guide?

You would be able to authorize multiple users to access a MCC.  A refresh token can be associated to a user.

Thanks,

Ray

Hello Ray,

thanks for answering. Yes I did review the guide (a long time ago and recently as well). My problem seems to have to do with OAuth2 Incremential Auth but I can't be sure. Only thing I know for sure is this: when I see the permissions page and can click on the grant Button everything works (I get a refresh_token). If I don't get this permissions page I get no refresh_token, but I can acccess the data via the API with the returned token, it's just missing the refresh_token.

Johannes,

Refresh token is issued when you request offline access.  Please see if this will work.

Thanks,

Hi Ray,

thanks again. I'm requesting offline access. Never requested anything else.
