Anash, Again thank you for your quick response. I am building a web application that when new items are added to our system we can potentially automatically add a new Campaign to the our AdWords account and then subsequently new AdGroups, Ads and Keywords. I am at the early stages really learning the capabilities of the API and I am having a few problems getting going. I downloaded the the .Net client library from here http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/ and I am using that as the basis of starting my own proof of concept project. Mainly my issues are compounded by the fact that all the examples I can find are a mix of different versions and so I am a little unclear on how to get going.
I think what I really need help with is how to get the AdWordsUser authenticated in a way that I can the access the API from then on with no challenge. I have no requirement to use OAuth as this will be an internal service using just our company AdWords account. What I have so far is based on a combination of this Java example http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/first-request.html and this article you wrote http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/wiki/HowToUseAdWordsUser Here is my code:- public ActionResult Create() { var headers = new Dictionary<string, string> { {"CompanyName", "MyCompany.com"}, {"Email", "[email protected]"}, {"Password", "password"}, {"DeveloperToken", " myemail @gmail.com++USD"} }; var user = new AdWordsUser(headers); var service = (CampaignService)user.GetService(AdWordsService.v201109.CampaignService, "https://sandbox.google.com";); var budget = new Budget { period = BudgetBudgetPeriod.DAILY, amount = new Money(), deliveryMethod = BudgetBudgetDeliveryMethod.STANDARD }; var campaign = new Campaign { name = "Simon Campaign", status = CampaignStatus.PAUSED, biddingStrategy = new ManualCPC(), budget = budget }; var operation = new CampaignOperation {operand = campaign, @operator = Operator.ADD}; var operations = new[] { operation }; var result = service.mutate(operations); return View(); This is an ASP.NET MVC 3 web application, when executing the code above I get an AuthTokenException. When I dig into the error it is because I am getting an System.Net.WebException {"The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."}. I get exactly the same response when I remove the second argument from the GetService call on AdWordsUser. If you could point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful.
