Hello, I am trying to leverage a service account in order to access the search ads reporting api. However, I am unable to find information regarding how to go about this via the service account. 

Seems like the new reporting api requires:
1. Client id
2. Client Secret
3. Refresh token 

However, the service account key only has:
1. Client id
2. Private Key
3. Private Key id 
4. Additional metadata. 


Any advice on how to approach this would be great. To use a service account do I need to leverage the old SA360 api?

Thank you!

Yes, it is the search ads 360 reporting API -- what would be the best place to ask my question considering that?

On the Search Ads 360 Reporting API website, there is no link to ask developer questions, rather a Google Group for announcements. What would be the best way to connect with developer support?
