Can't get billing account through api

[Kimsrung Lov]

Hi there,

I hope this email greeting you well. I have a question about getting billing accounts through api. The thing is I can get the budget order data but I can't get billing account data except this:

{:"@xmlns:ns2"=>"https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/billing/v201502", :@xmlns=>"https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201502"}

Does anyone have any ideas about that? Your reply is pretty handful for me.

Best,

Kimsrung

Hi Kimsrung,

You can obtain the Billing Account through the BudgetOrderService by using the getBillingAccounts() method.

Please see the section on listing available billing accounts in the Budget Order guide for more details.

Hi Anthony,

I actually use BudgetOrderService with get_billing_accounts method to query all billing accounts but I don't know why I get that. I have 3 MCC accounts and one is working just fine except the other two. Not sure what I have done it wrong.

Hello Kimsrung,

BudgetOrderService is a whitelisted service, limited to a list of approved developers only. Please confirm you are on the list.

Hi Danial,

I may ask stupid question. What does it mean a list of approved developers? I've looked through the differences between those three account and I can see that the account, which I can retrieve billing data, has already set up adwords api center and the other two didn't set that. Is it the reason behind that? I'm appreciated for your reply.

Thanks,

Kimsrung

Hello Kimsrung,

Getting BOS access is a separate process you need to go over with a CSR (Google representative). Generally, it's available to resellers only.

Unless you know you went over it, you are not whitelisted. Please check with your CSR if in doubt.
