Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

Upon reviewing the Google Ads account (891-713-4958), I understand that this is a client account, not a manager account. This is why the API Center view is not visible in this particular account. Kindly note that only the production manager account has the API center. If it's a test account, note that Test accounts are closed by default since they're not allowed to run ads or set up billing information. I would recommend you kindly refer to the “Obtain a developer token” documentation for more information.

However, if you are in a client account then you may note that you can see the manager account associated with your account in TOOLS AND SETTINGS > Access and security > Managers. You may also use the sample below query to see the manager account of your client account.

SELECT customer_manager_link.manager_customer FROM customer_manager_link

Upon running the above query, I can confirm that you don't have any managers associated with your client account. You need to create the manager account first and then apply for the developer token. I would recommend you to refer to the help center article to create the manager account. With the below provided query, you can determine whether your account is a manager account or a client account. If the 'manager' field is retrieved as "false" it indicates a client account; if it's fetched as "true" it signifies a manager account.

SELECT customer.manager, customer.test_account FROM customer

I hope this helps. Kindly get back to us if you have any further questions related to the Google Ads API.
