How do I get an access token for Adwords?

[Walid D]

Hi, 

I want to automate my keyword research, and as far as I understand, I have to get an access token for my PHP code.  (adding it to the auth.ini file) 

I am trying to follow this guide: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/start 

I just cant find the right place to get my access token. 

I already have an account (by clicking 'sign in' in the top right just gets me signed in..) 

Can you please help me find the right way to get the access token?

Hi,

As per the guide you mentioned, you will need to do the following:

• Create a manager account, along with your AdWords account
  
• Fill out AdWords API sign up form by going to your manager account's Account settings -> AdWords API Center
  
• Create a client identifier and client secret by navigating to the Google Developers Console

Once these steps are done, you should be notified with a developer token once your form is approved.

If you are still having issues, please let me know.

Cheers,

Anthony
