Upload Offline Conversions

[Vitor Fratti]

Hi,

I need to connect to the API to automatically upload offline conversions to my website. Basically, every time I perform a specific action, I need a conversion to be triggered in Google Ads.
But I'm facing some obstacles, since I've never used the Google Ads API:
1 - I can't find my developer token for OAuth2 authorization. The new Google Ads interface no longer has the API center to find it.
2 - How do I keep this functionality active on my website if the refresh token expires quickly?

Hi,

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

Here are the answers for your queries:

1 - I can't find my developer token for OAuth2 authorization. The new Google Ads interface no longer has the API center to find it.

• I understand that you are unable to see the API center option in your Google Ads account. Kindly note that the API Center option appears only for Google Ads manager accounts but not in the client accounts. You need to ensure that you are signed in with your Google Ads manager account then navigate to TOOLS & SETTINGS > SETUP > API Center. For more information, I would recommend you to check this documentation Obtain a developer token.

2 - How do I keep this functionality active on my website if the refresh token expires quickly?

• Here are some common causes for the refresh token expiration. It seems that you were issued a refresh token expiring in 7 days as you configured the OAuth consent screen section of the Cloud Platform project with an external user type and a publishing status of "Testing". You could change the publishing status to production to avoid this issue.
