Hello, 

Currently im trying to figure out how to access and use google ads "audience targeting and remarketing" via APIs. 
I'm currently developing a java web project where i will place a google login button onto the page and user will authorize my application with his/her google ads account. Then, i will use that authorization to manage his/her google ads audience list with my specifically targeted user list for remarketing purposes. From what i read on documents i think what i wanna achieve is possible, i just want to access and operate on another users adwords account on their behalf by their permission. I can't seem to gather enough information from google documents on the topic or i am bad at reading docs. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hello Dogan,

There are two different ways to get access on a account as mentioned below:
  • The client should give access to your email address or in other words you should be having access to the clients(or its high level manager's) account to make API calls. This can be done via UI only as mentioned here.
  • The other way is the Admin user of the client's account should authorize your OAuth credentials while creating the OAuth credential. In the second way you will only be having access to the client account via API only and will be having access level of the user that authorized your credentials.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
