I'd like to to create a test adwords client account so I can use it for adwords API calls with a pending developer token.
I have followed the steps in the doc in this link and successfully created a test manager account (with the red label) using the Google Ads UI.
As required, I did that with a different google id than the one I used for the production manager account.
Then it says in the doc "While logged in to Google Ads as your test manager account, any client accounts you create will automatically be test accounts."
But for me those clients accounts were created as production. No red label, and requesting for budget.
Any idea what am I doing wrong, or an alternative way to create a client test account?
Appreciate your help,
Tal
After getting some help from Google Ads API team (see thread here) the answer is:
Create a google adwords manager test account, see here how to
Create a google adwords client test account from within that manager account, see here how to
And then, even if you get the billing error message, and you don't see any client accounts created, it's actually there, but hidden. To show it, enable the 'Canceled accounts' checkbox, as seen here:

I have been looking for documentation or tutorials which show what to do in order to allow a creator (who already has a connect account (it was created when he first authenticated)) to add the banking information necessary for him to withdraw funds from his connect account (transfer his funds).
How app works:
Creator makes an account like on patreon.
User subscribes to creator like on patreon.
How can I allow the express connected account add his details?
Here are some links I have gatherd but don't seem to contain info on how to:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges#types
It depends on what type of Account.
Standard Accounts: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/standard-accounts#create-link
Express Accounts: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts#create-link
Custom Accounts: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/connect-onboarding
For express accounts redirect users to stripes onboarding
I emailed them for info before I got this answer. I will include their info here:
I understand you would like to know how a user can input their bank account information on the client-side.
As per in docs Stripe will handle onboarding, account management, and identity verification for your platform, which means you can onboard users very quickly. This is done by using the OAuth connection flow, after this, your user will be able to connect to your platform.
You can test this by trying the sample we have using Rocket Rides. Also, here you will be able to find the demo’s source code.
On the other hand, if you are referring to updating this information after the onboarding, this is done by logging on the Express Dashboard, and you can achieve this by integrating with the Express Dashboard.

I am trying to Create a Client test account under Test manager account of google ads API but my test manager account is marked as closed. See below
As mentioned in the picture a, we need to use new google account to create test manager account that is not been used in production manager account, I did the same. I created new google account and created test manager account but when I try to generate Refresh token for test account by using OAuth playground, It generates an error. see picture b.
Picture a.
Picture b.
Am I doing something wrong to configure the test manager account? Is there anything I need to follow to enable test account? The request to generate refresh token is getting denied. Is it because my account is closed?
The manager account for test account will always be closed because it is not managing any accounts in production environment.
To create test accounts, sign in as test manager account then follow the screenshots
when you click add button, you will be prompted to ask to create new account.
One you have clicked to create account, you will be asked to fill the details of the account. Follow the instructions to create test account.
When you create an account, you should pay attention to the filter feature. Otherwise, you will not be able to view the account.

You've probably already solved this, but someone else may have the same problem [I did just a few days ago].
So here's my contribution:
Even if you are the developer, you'll need to add your email as a test user to the project on the consent screen in API & Services
Here are 2 screenshots
I am trying to work with google adwords API. I was able to optain a developer key, but I simply can't create my test account from manager one. I didn't connect the production account to manager one may be that is an issue. All I see in account types while creating new account is only addword one but no option for test. I wander how to create it. Documentation says nothin
Well I got it. I had to create a new adwords account on an other email address and not fund it at all and then it becomes a test account. There for I can use my api key wich is not approved in google against this account.

I am attempting to get get a Ruby on Rails project that uses the Google AdWords API.
What I did so far, following the steps in this guide:
I created an AdWords Manager account.
I created a test account that is part of the AdWords Manager account.
I set up the Ruby client library in my Rails project.
I then attempted to set up OAuth2 authentication with the example code from the guide.
However since the guide was written (and the video version of the guide was made) it seems that the interface has changed. I am able to create a Client ID client_secrets.json-file, or a Service Account .json file. I am able to export these and read the settings from .
I added the required settings, using an OAUTH2_SERVICE_ACCOUNT .json file.
Now, when attempting to connect, I get back the AdwordsAPIException AuthenticationError.NOT_ADS_USER.
I therefore know that the actual authentication works. However, the authorization does not.
How can I turn on AdWords API support for the oAuth credentials from my google accounts? The Google Credentials Console lists many APIs that you can turn on, but the AdWords API is not in there. The AdWords guide does not mention turning on an API at all, and only tells you to create a new Credential.
What is going on here?
The Adwords API does not need to be added to your project in the Google Cloud console (it's always enabled)—as indicated by the error message, the actual problem lies in the fact that your service account does not have access to any Adwords accounts.
As a matter of fact, the only way to use service accounts to authenticate against the Adwords API is when you're also using a G Suite domain (see the corresponding documentation, section "Prerequisites".
If you have a G Suite domain, you'll need to
Enable "G Suite Domain-wide Delegation" on your service account key
Add the project ID of the Google cloud project to your G Suite domain's authorized API client list
Use your service account to impersonate any user from your G suite domain that has Adwords access
As you can see, it's quite an involved process. My recommendation (that is shared by the above article) is to use an OAuth2 installed application flow for any user that has Adwords access. This requires to store the obtained refresh token on your end, but is more flexible (and arguably safer) than a delegation-enabled service account and easier to set up.
I'm truing to figure out how to create an adwords developer token in new google interface. It was in settings tab formerly (right here at the screenshot http://take.ms/9lBlZ) but now it's gone. I looked through almost all links and didn't find an answer. So I really appreciate your help guys! Thanks!
If you create a campaign in your MCC (manager account), the MCC became normal Account, and you cant find "AdWords API Center" option.
I had to re-create another MCC
This thread is kind of old, but I just went through this so I can highlight the things that were confusing to me.
You need to create a legitimate MCC account, AND a test account. In the real one you need to apply for a developer token. You want to put this token in the properties file here api.adwords.developerToken
From your test MCC you need to create a test client. Use the clientId from the TEST client you just created in api.adwords.clientCustomerId in the properties file.
You need to get an API token for your app (and an OAuth token) through Google's developer console https://console.developers.google.com
Make sure the active google account session for your browser is for the email you registered your TEST Account to. Run the script they give to get the refresh token and put it here api.adwords.refreshToken in the properties file.
Now you're using your test developer token from your real account and given permissions to use the test account.
Google made this way more confusing than it had to be in my opinion...hopefully this helps someone figure it out though!
There are two types of Adwords Manager accounts, normal and testing.
How to get a testing account
With the normal one, I got the developer token but I cannot run nothing throught the API because the account was not approved.
So I created a testing account, which allows to work with the API without the need of being approved.
With the testing account I didn't saw the Adwords API Center link under Account Settings.
Reading documentation I saw the developer token of a normal account can be used with a different Adwords account.
So I'm using the info (client_id, client_secret, oauth_token) of a testing Adwords account and the developer token a normal Adwords account.
To get the Oauth_token you can use the OAuth Playground (remember to set the Playground link for redirection on your Oauth credentials).
Instructions to get a OAuth Playground with Adwords
Please complete the billing details after creating MCC account.
Once that is completed you can see API Center option under Tool Icon.
By filling billing details doesn't charge you but its just for verification purpose.
I just had the same issue.
