googleads.yaml setup for test account

[A_H]

Hello, 

I am trying to setup a test account to play around with the AdWords API. I have created a production manager account and retrieved the developer token from the production account. I then generated a refresh token successfully with the TEST account. I am now trying to run "get_keywords_ideas.py" example file and am getting: 

"suds.WebFault: Server raised fault: '[QuotaCheckError.DEVELOPER_TOKEN_NOT_APPROVED @ ; trigger:'<null>']'

I have 6 fields that need to be filled out in the yaml file and I'm just not sure which ones should have the production manager account credentials and which should have the test account. So far all of these are filled in with test account info except for the developer token which is from the production manager account.

- developer_token

- user_agent

- client_customer_id

- client_id

- client_secret

- refresh_token

Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks

Hi Austin,

The "DEVELOPER_TOKEN_NOT_APPROVED" error occurs when you are using an unapproved token to make calls against a production account. Are you sure you are using test account credentials when you are making the request? 

Test accounts are designated with a red label. If you do not see the red "This is a test account!" label on your AdWords account page, then the account is a production account.

Hi Swetha, 

Should all of the credentials be from the test account except for the developer token which is from the production manager account? 

Thanks

Hi Austin,

Yes, apart from the developer token, all the credentials should be from the test account.
