I have google oauth2 authorization. To work with google adwords, I need developer token. I can see it on the website in my account, but is there any way to find it programmatically through the api?
google support replied that now there is no such possibility https://groups.google.com/d/msg/adwords-api/RLpvEMFay4s/Wm75mEj9BAAJ

Using Google Ads API "Get Account Hierarchy" to get all accounts.

Found out that canceled accounts are not being retrieved.
I do see the canceled accounts are being reported in the UI and in their Google Data Studio connector.
I guess both use the old AdWords API.
Is there a way to fetch and report canceled accounts via Google Ads API?
Is it recommended to use the old AdWords API?
Google Ads team answered: Unfortunately, cancelled accounts will not be returned in either of the APIs.
For more information, you may refer to this blog post (https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/2018/03/changes-to-inactive-adwords-accounts.html).
I hope this helps.
My app has a feature to share on google plus.
My app cannot allow users to login using google.
Is it possible to post on google plus without using google plus sign in ?
Google APIs use OAuth 2.0 for both authentication and authorization. You cannot do anything if you are not authorized - it's the matter of security. Here is a great official guide on how to properly login in Google Plus and use different APIs features.
So, you must enable the possibility to login through Google or disable the sharing feature.
I am looking at developing an app using the google adwords api.
I have found here that I need an MCC account to be able to access the google adwords API.
Does this mean that only people with adwords accounts linked to my MCC account can use my app?
Or can my app be accessed by anyone with an adwords account?
Your app will be able to access any AdWords account provided the owner of that account allows it.
The AdWords account does not need to be linked to your MCC.
The user of your app will have to grant permission for your app to access their AdWords account before any calls to the AdWords API are made by your app.
Check these docs on the OAuth2 flow out for further details and then these for installed applications.
I want to login in my iOS App with a Google account. Instead of having a database with users and having to register all the users, I simply login with my existing Google account.
Anyone knows a way of doing this, or a tutorial?
Google Accounts Authentication and Authorization for Mobile Apps has fairly detailed instructions for authenticating Google account users and includes iOS-specific steps.
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.
