Can get get_keyword_ideas.py work with test account

[Elena Zadnepranets]

Hi,

I've been struggling with get_keyword_ideas.py. It keeps generating few errors:

No handlers could be found for logger "googleads.common"

suds.WebFault: Server raised fault: '[QuotaCheckError.DEVELOPER_TOKEN_NOT_APPROVED @ ; trigger:'<null>']'

I'm using test account and thought it should be ok to test the script. 

Please, advise what I should do.

Thank you!

Hi Elena, 

The DEVELOPER_TOKEN_NOT_APPROVED error is noticed when you're using an unapproved developer token to make API calls against Production account. An unapproved and test access developer token can be used to make calls against a test account. Also, note that a test account is different from the test access developer token. Test accounts are usually marked with a red flag on the top indicating that "This is a test account" and test access developer token is assigned to the account when you complete the sign up process. It can be used to make API calls against test accounts.

In order to use this test access token to make API calls to Production accounts, you will need a Basic access which can be applied by submitting this form. The API Compliance team will get back to you with a response within two business days, once the form is submitted. You can refer to this guide about different access levels and their limits in detail.
