Dear Google Ads API team, 

In order to interact with the Google Ads API KeywordPlanService to get historical keywords, a developer token is required. There are quite some prerequisites for obtaining such token as can be read from the docs (link).

Would it be possible to receive a Developer token without an active Google Ads manager account, given the following use case? 

We believe that there's a lot of value in providing historical keywords data to companies/brands, in which they can find insights on how they compare with competition split by geography. This could potentially lead to an optimisation in google ads spend. 

To sum up, we have two questions:
1. Is there a way to recieve a developer token to consult companies on their competiveness per region?
2. How can we make sure this use case does not violate the 'permissible use' policy (link)

I look forward to hearing from you,
Koy.

Hi Koy,

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

Note that you should have a Google Ads manager account to obtain a developer token. For more information on whether you need a developer token and how to apply for it, I would suggest you refer to this guide on 'obtain a developer token'. Regarding your questions on developer token and permissible use, I would recommend you reach out to the Google Ads API Compliance team.

I hope this clarifies.
