API key AdWords for smaller agencies

[Barbora Ilic]

Hi everyone,

here is the issue.  We have a webapp: Our customers connect/link their adwords account (with oauth). We fetch basic reporting info from their account/campaigns https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting We don't want to setup/manage/optimize/change or anything like that. Only fetch reporting data.

Do we really need a full blown API token like huge marketing agencies and complete this form and get approved https://services.google.com/fb/forms/newtokenlow/ to be able to do that? Is there any other option?

Hi Barbora,

A developer token is required to perform any operation against an account using the AdWords API, so you will need to go through the signup process and fill out the token application form. There are two types of access levels for using API which are outlined in our FAQ's.

Please make sure you watch for the email in the follow-up form described in step 2. A common cause of delays in the application process is that applicants don't complete that step.

Cheers,

Raghavendra, AdWords API Team.

Raghavendra,

I also filled out the token application form (https://services.google.com/fb/forms/newtoken/) which after pressing submit gave me no feedback. I also have not heard form the support team for several weeks. I tried filling out the from on Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. 

Best,
Patrick
