Hello,

I created a developer account for my company clickmetrix.io using an email account I created (clickme...@gmail.com) so I can start google ads api development. Weeks later I realized I could have used our legit business email address (adt...@clickmetrix.io). 

I applied for basic dev token access for my adt...@clickmetrix.io google ads account, but it was regetted stating my company already has an account (from the original clickme...@gmail.com) account.

I created new google console and google ad manager accounts under the adt...@clickmetrix.io account and would like to transfer the dev token from the clickme...@gmail.com account to the new adt...@clickmetrix.io account. Is this possible?

If so, what other information is needed from me?

Thank you

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to Google Ads API Support.

With regards to your concern, kindly note that each Google API Console project can be associated with the developer token from only one manager account. Once you make a Google Ads API request, the developer token is permanently paired to the Google API Console project. 

Additionally, if switching to a developer token under a new manager account, you first need to create a new Google API Console project for Google Ads API requests that use the new manager's token. If you don't use a new Google API Console project, you'll get a DEVELOPER_TOKEN_PROHIBITED error when making a request. For more information about the developer token you may read our documentation guide via this link (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/first-call/dev-token).

Yes, please proceed. 

I have already created a new google console project with the adt...@clickmetrix.io email address. This project id is 508798345093-cor0md8a1u0ose6eue3rqjm1v5lvi0s8.apps.googleusercontent.com.
The adt...@clickmetrix.io google ads manager account id is: 518-969-2527

Thank you
