Hi,I have a problem about how to use the Java development library to obtain the operating data of the specified user under googleAds (the amount of advertisements and the amount of clicks on the advertisements, etc.). We are currently using official documents to transfer to google Ads through Oauth service, but we have not obtained any data. When trying to use the official account to create a campaign, I found that I need to pay. However, when I used the test account to create it, it prompted me that the current account status cannot create a campaign. How should we operate, whether we need to purchase the corresponding service products.

Hi Yushan,

Thank you for reaching out. You could only obtain the metrics or data for the production accounts but not for the test accounts as the test account never serves real ads. Thus, to fetch the metrics you would need to use your production accounts instead.

Thanks and regards,
