GCP Project and MCC's developer token unbind

[Anthony Gomez Taboada]

Hi,

Months ago, we linked a Google Ads Developer Token to a GCP Project with the intent to use it for a POC.

Nowadays we want to use another Google Ads Account (from a different MCC). However, we cannot do this, because said project is already binded with the previous Google Ads Account.

We would like to know if there is a request process or configuration so we could unbind the Google Ads Account from a GCP Project?.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Anthony,

Thank you for reaching us out. I am Sherwin from Google Ads API support team. I hope that you are doing well today.

We really do understand your concern and as per this document, please note that each Google API Console project can be associated with the developer token from only one manager account. Once you make a Google Ads API request, the developer token is permanently paired to the Google API Console project. If switching to a developer token under a new manager account, you'll need to create a new Google API Console project for Google Ads API requests that use the new manager's token. If you do not use a new Google API Console project, you'll get a DEVELOPER_TOKEN_PROHIBITED error when making a request.

In conclusion, it is not possible to unbind Google Ads Account to a GCP project.

Kind regards,

Sherwin Vincent Google Ads API Team

Ok I understand.

Hopefully, in the future, there can be a mechanism to unbind a GCP project and a Developer Token, because it is a little bit of a hassle to create a new project with the only purpose of connecting to a third party API.
