Developer token prohibited

[Pedro Da Silva]

Hi, 

we have a set of service account credentials that are currently being used to access google AdWords with a given developer token. Now that we have service accounts available for Google Ads API, we wanted to use those same credentials and developer token to access this API on behalf of SDC. However, we are being barred by the following error:

```

>, errors {

  error_code {

    authorization_error: DEVELOPER_TOKEN_PROHIBITED

  }

  message: "Developer token \'<DEV TOKEN VALUE>\' is not allowed with project \'<project id>\'."

}

```

We find this weird because the service account credentials are allowed to access the scope for google adwords (which is the same for google ads) on GSuite, and that project does have google ads enabled.

Could you guys please help us understand what we are missing and how can we fix this?

Thank you for your help

Pedro

Hi Pedro,

Thank you for contacting support.The DEVELOPER_TOKEN_PROHIBITED error indicates that in the past, there was at least one request to your Google Ads API using OAuth credentials from the same project ID with different developer token. Could you please create a new Google Cloud Project ID, obtain a new OAuth2 credentials from a client under the new project ID, and use those credentials in your requests with your developer token. If you are still facing issue, could you please share the MCC Id associated with developer token for me to investigate further? You could use reply privately to the author option while sharing.

Hi,

We are facing a similar problem with GoogleAds api. We are using the same project and developer token for both GoogleAdwords and GoogleAds API. For GoogleAdwords, it is working perfectly but with GoogleAds, it throws the DEVELOPER_TOKEN_PROHIBITED error saying that "message: "Developer token is not allowed with project " . Can you help us debug this?

Thanks
