Google Grants account: getting API access

[Anna PS]

Hi all

How can I sign up for an API token from my Google Grants Adwords
account? I'm trying to follow the instructions here:

http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=15104

but there is no 'API Center' option under the 'My Account' tab. So I
figured that I need to create an MCC account, but if I go to the MCC
login page:

http://www.google.com/intl/en/adwords/myclientcenter/

and use our Adwords login to sign up, I'm told that 'The login is
already an AdWords account linked to an MCC'.

So I figured that we must already have an MCC account for that login -
but if I click 'Sign in' on the MCC homepage, then I get redirected to
our existing Adwords dashboard - and as before, there is no 'API
Center' option.

I'm really baffled. What should I do? Why is there no 'API Center'
option, if the login is already linked to an MCC?

Thanks
Anna

Hi Anna,

The "AdWords API Center" tab is only available in MCC accounts. You
cannot create an MCC account using the same email address that is
already used for an standard AdWords account. Please specify a new
email address when creating the MCC account.

Best,
- Eric Koleda, AdWords API Team
