Error "dev_token_invalid" when using test account to send to new Google Adword Conversion Tracking API

[wha...@mparticle.com]

Hi all,

I'm trying to test out the new Google Adwords API (the one that relies on dev_token and Link ID). I've just setup a test account with Google Adwords. Now the one strange thing is, in order to create a test developer token I had to create a manager account (which for whatever reason uses the old UI). However, to create the Link ID I had to use the main account (by going to Linked Accounts -> Third Party Analytics).

I sent a sample request basically identical to the one here: https://developers.google.com/app-conversion-tracking/api/request-response-specs#sample_request  with of course my dev_token and link id but I get this:

{

    "ad_events": [],

    "errors": [

        "dev_token_invalid"

    ],

    "attributed": false

}

My thinking is that somehow the main account and the manager account are separate systems. The fact that manager account is on the old UI and the main account is the new UI doesn't help. I've tried going to the gear icon to see if there was a "Try the New UI" feature but nothing. A pretty confusing/frustrating experience from a developer standpoint.

Any guidance is appreciated on how to solve this.

Thanks

Same problem,

Did you resolve this?

Hi,

My apologies, however, this issue is more related to the Mobile Apps Conversion Tracking and Remarketing API rather than the AdWords API. This said, you may reach out to the AdWords support team for further assistance and you may contact them by logging in to your AdWords account and going to the Gear Icon > Help.

Best regards,

Peter
