Is there a procedure to authenticate other users to call the API on their data? I have found the OAuth flow for a web application (which I am building), but currently, I have my IDs and credentials hard-coded in the configuration file (ads.properties). However, my goal is for other users to log in such that the application can make API calls on their accounts.

Is this possible? How would I start this?

Thanks,

Hi Amber,

You are correct in wanting to use a web application as described in this table. Here is a comprehensive guide on web applications for OAuth.
