Hi Andrea,
I see that you have created a *test* MCC account and some child client
accounts. In order to use the API, however, you need to also create a
*non-test* ("real") MCC account and then submit a developer token account
for the *non-test* MCC. While that application is pending, you can use the
*non-test* MCC developer token for API calls against your *test* MCC
account's child accounts.
My most recent reply to this
post<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/adwords-api/-K7DuDOAVEM/kZIec7FHOG0J>
contains
a grid of dev token and customer type combinations and the API calls
allowed for each.
In terms of the credit card information, you do need to supply this but the
card will not be charged. You will also need to specify a Monthly API
Budget, but you can just enter $1 for that value.
Thanks,
Josh, AdWords API Team
