DoubleClick Ad Exchange Buyer REST API. how to start?

[tytus.c...@polcode.com]

Hi,

From yesterday I'm trying to setup sandbox environment to test "DoubleClick Ad Exchange Buyer REST API".

I started from this document https://developers.google.com/ad-exchange/buyer-rest/v1.1/
I set at console new application and oauth2 access for it. And turned on service "Ad Exchange Buyer API". (https://code.google.com/apis/console/b/0/)
At this moment I can authorize with oauth2. But when I tired to ask API for creatives (GET /adexchangebuyer/v1.1/creatives) I got an error:

{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "message": "No permission to access resource. Please contact your technical account manager."
   }
  ],
  "code": 403,
  "message": "No permission to access resource. Please contact your technical account manager."
 }
}

After that I discover that I need(?) MCC adWords account with API access. Now I'm waiting for developer token approval.
I read that I can use sandbox without token approval so I filed a form that should give me access to sandbox (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ERbljbb88ceyqU1gw2zN0KNI8Ltu5ASwo17M0wp0Ztg/viewform?id=1ERbljbb88ceyqU1gw2zN0KNI8Ltu5ASwo17M0wp0Ztg)

My questions are:
1) That I need MCC AdWords account for DoubleClick Ad Exchange Buyer REST API?
2) Do I need something more to set up sandbox account?
3) Do I need API approval from Google to access sandbox?

Best regards
Tytus

Hello Tytus,

The access for the AdX Buyer SOAP API (which requires an AdWords MCC account for authentication) and the REST API are different. The steps you've taken will only move you along on the path to access the SOAP API's test environment.

You'll need to contact your technical account manager about this. He or she will be able to take the steps necessary to grant you access to both APIs - there's some behind-the-scenes work we need to do on our side.

Hello again,

I wanted to throw in an additional clarification - I know you're looking to access the REST API at the moment, but if you wanted to access the SOAP API sandbox, it would still probably be a good idea to contact your technical account manager. 

Accessing the sandbox requires two things: a test developer token and a test account. Test accounts can be made quickly but the request you put in for a test developer token can take one or two weeks. Your account manager would be able to grant you a real AdX Buyer developer token much quicker than that and you would still be able to use it with test accounts for sandbox access.
