Token and developer owner access

[Vivian Han]

Hi team, 

Our client wants to use the Google Ads API to store Google Ads data in the server. They have done a "Service back to Google ads" API before and applied for a developer token.
If I want to do data storage now, do I need to apply for a developer token again? Or can it be operated on the basis of the previous one?

The token used when the service is sent back to Google Ads is not the account of  developer owner.

But now I use the permission of this token to authorize the developer owner, but it still doesn't work.

Please advise. 

Thanks

Hi Vivian,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API team. I hope you are doing well today.
 

Kindly note that the developer token is like a license key; it is tied to an MCC account for approval purposes, but once approved, you can use it to make calls against any Google Ads account within the organization. The MCC hierarchy for making API calls doesn't matter.
 

Moving forward to your concern about using the old developer token, you don't need to apply for a new developer token because if you apply for another developer token for the same entity, this will get rejected as we have a policy that 1 developer token per 1 entity.

However, you mentioned that developer tokens still don't work even if you have permission from the developer owner. With this, can you provide the email address of the developer's owner so that our team can further check?
