Hello,

I recently took over a project at my company that uses the Adwords API and the original devs are no longer here (no documentation of course). We have a development and production version of the application, each with their own client IDs and secrets. I need to make changes to the apps but I'm not sure what company email address they were created under. The apps use OAuth and I got access to the Google accounts shown on the OAuth consent screen but when I log into either account there are no projects defined. I'm guessing they were created using a different email address and the one shown on the OAuth consent screen is the support email.

Is there any way to find out what email address an application was created with? 

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Could you confirm that you're looking for your project in the Google Console, and you're wondering if you can do a project lookup via email to find out which email a project is connected to?

Thank you,
Bryan, Google Ads API Team

Hi Bryan,

Yes, I checked that console page while logged into both of the accounts that showed up on the OAuth consent screen and I don't see any projects listed. The reason I'm trying to gain access is I'd like to get the application we're using in our development environment promoted to a production token so we can do testing against real Ads accounts.

I don't need to make any changes to the account that our production app is running against but I'd like to at least to know what it is so we can document it.

I'd be happy to PM you the client IDs, email addresses or any other details you'd need to assist.

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the update. I see that you're trying to find the project that's associated with your app and the credentials you're using. Could I ask you to reach out to the Cloud Support Team, as they handle issues and concerns regarding projects and console concerns? They would be better equipped to assist you with this look up using the email address/User ID in the Cloud Console. Let me know if you have further questions.
