Multiple MCC Accounts

[Matt Burton]

Hi,

I've recently started to build an application with the AdwordsAPI and I had a question about multiple MCC accounts.

When I login to Adwords via a web browser, there is a select box at the top that has 8 options, these are Multiple MCC's. We use these for various groupings of client types, we manage about 200 clients.

Anyway, when I use the API call "ManagedCustomerService" with a filter of "CanManageClients" it actually returns 25 MCC's, some of these are out clients MCC's that we've linked to ours.

My question is, how do I return the list of 8 MCC's as per the Adword control panel, or can I not?

Thanks
Matt

Hello,

It depends on how you are differentiating the 8 you're interested in from the others that you're not. You would need to use some filter that returns those 8, but not the others. I don't know the details of your account structure, so I can't tell you which filter that might be for you. If it doesn't exist, then you would need an alternate approach.

For example, if these 8 are never going to change, you could record all of their CIDs and then filter on that field, so you know you're getting the exact ones you want.
