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

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.
Sorry if my question to too naive. But i wish to find audience level information for a particular twitter handle. Lets consider #BarackObama, i wish to find his followers by gender, age, language, location etc. I used python scripts in this link https://github.com/GnipDz/Python-Insights to achieve it.
I do have access to twitter ADS API but it still shows your application ID is not authorized when i try to run the scripts. Is there a special API or addition over Ads API to achieve this? can someone guide me as to how i can do this?
Those scripts use Twitter's enterprise (commercial) Audience API. This API does not enable you to access audiences for individual users, only aggregated data for large numbers of Twitter handles. Additionally, this is not a free-to-access API so you need to have an active enterprise subscription for this to work.
I'm not aware of any programmatic way to access this data, and particularly not for any organic account - the Engagement API enables access to Tweet engagements for the authenticated account, but you're not able to access that data for other users.
Is it possible with the Google Adwords API to get ads (both text and images) from any website, even if I don't own it?
For example, I'd like to see all ads that www.website.com does. Is there a way to extract that data?
There are sites online that do it, so there must be a way, any idea?
AdWords API only displays the Ads that you have created.
For any given AdWords account, there has to be a Campaign, which have AdGroups, which have the Ads and the user can only access Ads within that particular account.
Let me share my findings before asking the question.
Google Places API documentation says:
"Note: To use the Google Places API you must first request a Maps API
client ID and cryptographic key which you must use to sign your
request URLs. For information on signing URL requests, please see the
URL Authentication documentation within the Web Service APIs home
page."
The Google Places API is still in developer preview.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/
We need a Client ID (required) and a Signature (required) to use
the Google Places API.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/webservices/index.html#URLSigning
And, to get the Signature, we need a Google Adsense account to get
Adsense publisher id (required).

You can find the requirements to use the Google Places API here.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/index.html#Requirements
The Signup page for Google Maps API suggest that, "Your service
must be freely accessible to end users. To use Google mapping
technology in other types of applications, please use Google Maps API
Premier. See this FAQ for more information."

Now, here's what i want to know.
I'm planning on using Google Places API in my iOS application. I don't
want to use Adsense. Can i still access the Google Places API for
free? How?
If i can't access the Google Places API for free, what are the costs
associated with using this service, and the available payment models?
I wasn't able to find any particular resources for this information.
Here's a specific scenario. What if my iOS application is free. The
free version uses Google Places API. But... my iOS application has
some additional features which are exposed using In-app Purchase (paid
features). The paid features do not use Google Places API. Is this
acceptable?
We opened up the Google Places API to all developers this week at Google I/O and simplified the Terms and authentication:
http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2011/05/places-everybody-show-is-about-to-begin.html
You no longer need to sign your requests, but instead just use a key obtained using the Google APIs console. An AdSense ID is no longer required, but you will need to go though a credit card based identity check in order to upgrade from 1,000 to 100,000 request per day.
You can use the Places API in mobile apps that are free or sold online through a mobile app store such as the Apple App Store or Android Market. For fee desktop apps however will require a Maps API Premier license which will be offered once the Places API graduates from Google Code Labs.
For information on getting started, see the docs:

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.
you can refer this link for sign Up process and how to get approve token,
