Developertoken option for new testaccount is not there

[Lambert Beekhuis]

Hi, 

For setting up a testenvironment for Google Ads, I would like to make a test manager account, so I followed this instruction to setup an testaccount.

https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/first-call/test-accounts

I made a new Google Account, and clicked the link in the document to start making a Google Ads test manager account.

This is succesfull. However, in the menu I do not find an option for the API, to make the developer key.

I enabled the Google Ads API, I made an OAuth2 client credential, even added a test client account, but still: the API-center option in the menu does not show up.

(I have succeeded in the past, but now I cannot find the option),

Best regards, Lambert

Hi Lambert,

The developer token can only be acquired from a production Google Ads MCC / manager account, and from its Tools and settings > Setup > API Center view. In this section and in the Step 1 item, it states that :

• You must first have a Google Ads manager account before applying for a developer token.

I hope this helps.
