Hi Paul, The AdWords API PHP library already has a code example that shows how to use OAuth2 with AdWords API. You can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-php/source/browse/trunk/examples/v201209/Misc/UseOAuth2.php. Also, service accounts allow you to call AdWords API without any user interaction, but that is not the only way to achieve server-to-server call. If you care only about offline call without user interaction and not about impersonating users, then you can use regular OAuth2 call with offline = true as explained here: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer#offline. To summarize,
1. You need to get an OAuth2 clientId and secret from https://code.google.com/apis/console. When creating the token, select "Installed Application" and select "Other" in the "Installed Application type". 2. Substitute these values in UseOAuth2.php example and run it. This code example will generate an access token and refresh token. The access token will expire after an hour, refresh token doesn't. 3. When your access token expires, refresh it using $user->RefreshOAuth2AccessToken call. You could generate a refresh token for your parent MCC once and continue using it without requiring user interaction. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor.
