We were using Google Adwords API to create an Audience(UserList). Adwords API returns userListId as response. In Google Ads API in order to update the Audience, we need to pass resource Name (as compared to UserListId in Adwords API). How do I go about using Audience(UserList) created in Adwords API using Google Ads API?
The documentation explains how the resource name for each resource is composed. In the case of a user list, it's
customers/{customer_id}/userLists/{user_list_id}
where customer_id is the ID of the Ads account and user_list_id is the ID you obtained when you created the list.

I will be building a spring-boot app that consumes resource from the Youtube Api. However, I discovered that the youtube API has a limit of resource that can be consumed by one API key.
This will be a multi user app, So i'll like to build out the functionality in which when a user signs into the app via gmail, the user's API will automatically be used to consume resources from the youtube API , without the user having to go digging into the Youtube API documentation to get there API key.
Any ideas of how to automatically enable a new user’s api key to make the call , instead of my api key ?
Thanks in advance.
I discovered that the youtube API has a limit of resource that can be consumed by one API key.
This is called quota and its not related to the API key but rather related to the project. You have a quota limiting the number of requests that your project can make against the API. see quota calculator

If you want to allow a user to login to their YouTube api account then you will be using Oauth2 client credentials and not an API key. The API key will only allow you to access public data no private data will be available.

API keys are not user specific you cant create a new user api key. Thats not how API keys work, api keys enable your application to access public data on YouTube it is defined by you manually though the Google developer console and identifies your application to Google.
I am a telephony based company. I would like my users to authenticate me using OAuth method to fetch their google adwords campaign details related to the google account. Which google adwords api should be used to achieve this requirement.
What do you mean by campaign details? There are many kinds of campaign-level report API that gives information about campaign like this performance report, for example: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/campaign-performance-report
How do I get the adwords MCC / Manager Account ID using the Google Adwords API. I have gone through the documentation but was unable to find it.
In the documentation it states
ClientCustomerId will be required for all requests except for
CustomerService.get
The details of the CustomerService.get request can be seen here
Currently Google is migrating their old Google Data API to the new Google API.
When we do API queries over the old Google Data API, we usually use Zend Framework and the given consumer key/secret to do the authen/autho, which is fine.
Question is, is it possible to use the given consumer key/secret (from the Google Apps Marketplace listing) and the new OAuth 2 Library to call the API? What I have been having is the error message redirect_uri mismatched issue and obviously Google Apps Marketplace provides no way to change this value. Even though they had provided a link for us to go to the API Console from the listing page, I cannot see the OAuth 2.0 options in my API Access page at all.
Did I missed out anything?
If let's say I need to use the Google Apps Admin Settings API, does it mean I need to separately create a new OAuth 2.0 API Access in the API Console, then, when I need to access user data, I need to do the Auth flow again using this new consumer key/secret/redirect? I can't set this permission in the Listing Manifest? (Not supported?)
Thanks for the clarifications!
Google Apps Admin Settings is not yet migrated to the new google-api, AFAICS. Check out this list : http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/wiki/APIs ;
you can however use the new google-api client libraries but you have to roll your own XML model for the given API, it is not so hard, I did a similar thing for the Contact API;
The consumer/key secret can be re-used normally if it is sufficiently scoped. A related project for your market app is automatically created in the Google Api console from what I remember..
What i need to do to use Google AdWords API? Is it real that i must register at My Client Center, pay money and pass stupid tests on google testing service?
in order to use AdWords API, you need to:
have a regular Google AdWords account (not My Client Center - MCC one) with campaigns
have an MCC account... which cannot have campaigns but have an access to API
link your regular AdWords account with the MCC account
ask for API access from your MCC Account (My Profile section)
pay for API use per Google's rate sheet
... you can apply for free API usage, however this does come with a cost. This is where you need to do those stupid tests to get recognized as Certified Partner and fulfill some other requirements. And yes, you need to pay for these tests (last time I checked, it was $50 per test, there are about 4 of them for AdWords altogether, don't know how many you need to pass to get certified though).
P.S.: those 2 accounts (AdWords and MCC) cannot be combined and for some reason only the MCC one has access to API... wierd but that goes "by design" according to API Support (can't find the link at the moment).
You can use the Adwords API without having a MCC or passing any tests, even WITHOUT having an Adwords account, by using the Adwords API sandbox
http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/sandbox.html
Of course this is to be used only for developing and testing purposes..
For getting Google AdWords API access you do not need to give any test.
Google adwords api is free for basic access but billing detail you need to
provide to google adwords.
