With API google detect if Adwords? and GMC account?

[raphaell...@lengow.com]

Hello,

I am working on a project with Adwords API.

With API Google can I detect if the user has already an Adwords account? and an Google merchant center account? And can I detect if the user has already linked his Adwords and Google merchant center accounts?

Thanks,

Raphaelle

Hi Raphaelle,

I am not aware of a way through the AdWords API to determine if the user (email address) has already an AdWords account. However, there should be a message thrown during the sign up when using an email address that already has an existing AdWords account. Also, only the Shopping Performance Report gives the merchantId information associated to the shopping campaign of an AdWords account.

For the question about how to determine if a user has a Merchant Center account already created, please post it in the Content API forum. The team there may be able to help.

Best Regards,

Joyce, AdWords API Team

To detect whether a user has an AdWords account, log in as that user and request the accounts the user has access to. If you get one or more accounts, apparently something is present. Otherwise (0 accounts, or an error like NOT_ADS_USER), the user has no access to any AdWords account.

To find out which accounts a user has access to, use CustomerService.get() and/or ManagedCustomerService.get().

Hope this helps.
