About Billing Invoice

[Shiman Cai]

I want to obtain the monthly billing details for each CID. The data is located in Google Ads UI under customer id > Billing > Transactions, as stated in the documentation: Google Ads API Billing Invoice.

I am the advertiser, but the paying manager for the customer ID is an agency. I don't have paying manager permissions (and cannot obtain them, as the paying manager receives all invoices, including those of other advertisers).

Is there any other way to access the relevant data besides having paying manager permissions? This is crucial for us as we have dozens of CIDs each month, and without API access, we would need 1-2 days to manually verify each CIDs invoice.

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to access the relevant data without having paying manager permissions. The Google Ads API only allows paying managers to access billing information. This is because billing information is considered sensitive data, and Google wants to ensure that only authorized users have access to it. I would recommend you to check the documentation billing set up and Invoice for more information
