Hi Murray, Rob, Currently, the AdWords API doesn't provide a way to link a child account under an MCC account. Since OAuth support isn't available in all the client libraries, the recommended way is to link the child account under a common MCC and then make calls on that account's behalf. Linking the MCC and child accounts is a manual one-time process, but after that you can automate managing the account using AdWords API.
Collecting the email / password of all accounts is probably not a good idea, there might be customers who aren't comfortable with that. One mid-way alternative would be to ask the client to invite a login of yours to manage the client account and then use that login email to manage the account. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor. On Jul 3, 3:28 pm, Murray <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Eric > > Can you please offer some advice here?
