API Key Pending approval

[Christopher Heathwood]

Hi,

We really want to get cracking on some API tools how long does it usually take for these to be approved?

Cheers

Chris

Hi Christopher.

Usually it takes up to 3 weeks.

But double check that your application will not violate API ToS. In
other way your request can be not approved.

Hi Evgeniy,

Thanks for your reply it's been well over 3 weeks (almost 4) :)

Is there any way of getting more feedback on this?

I have account managers asking me about tools and have no idea when we can start implementing them :p

Cheers

Hi Chris,

It took us several months to get our API access back. You may try
calling AdWords Customer Care. I think (866) 246-6453 is the number.

Thanks

Hi Chris.

You can start implement your tools in Sandbox now, without API key.

I know 2 ways to get know more about approval progress:
1. Send message to adwordsa...@google.com about how is going
approval and how long it can be.
2. Google Office Hours (every Friday you can contact with Google API
Dvelopers by video)

As I understand better to get any result from first and it will be not
successful, you can ask developers what to do in your situation.

Regards,
Evgeniy.

Thanks for your replies :)

I've had a look in to the sandbox and will have a play with some of the features to be honest we're not going to throw lots of resources at this if we can't get am API key :p

Will keep this updated on how we get on :)
