Hi.

Does anyone know if there is an Oauth2 scope that will allow me to request Read Only access to the Adwords API?

The only documented scope that I see is: "https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords"

Thanks.

Hi Scott,
  Currently, this is not possible - you will get the full permissions of the authenticated user.  One way to emulate this is to get a user with read-only access to the AdWords account in question to authenticate via OAuth2.  We've seen a few requests for a read-only OAuth scope and will look into this.
