Hi all,


I am trying to use Google AdWords API to retrieve data into an application with OAuth authentication.
I have applied for AdWords API Access through my manager account and I am using a Developer Token with Test account access (since I just want to test I haven't applied for basic access yet). Following the AdWords API Documentation I have created a test manager account and a test client account.
In the Google Developer Console I have created a new project and OAuth credentials and under Authorized redirect URIs I have inserted the path in my application.

The OAuth authentication has been authorised but I cannot get any data.  Do you know what the problem could be? Do I have to apply for a basic access for the developer token?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi, 

You can continue using your developer token, which has test access, to make requests against your test AdWords accounts. Could you provide more details on how you are using AdWords API in your application, especially the API service or report being used? Please note that you'll not be able to retrieve reports using the manager account ID. Could you retry your requests by setting the client AdWords account Id as the clientCustomerId and let me know if it works? 

Thanks,
Shwetha, AdWords API Team.
