Hi Brihaspati, One important point is that the client_id and client_secret are for *your* application--the user never creates these. You should use the same client_id and client_secret for all of your application's OAuth2 requests, as this is what identifies your application. The OAuth2 flow is meant to authorize a specific application, identified by client_id and client_secret, for access to a user's account in a specific scope (the AdWords scope, in this case).
One way or another, you will have to prompt the user for credentials at some point. For your use case you could create a *web application* in the console, which will require you to specify a redirect URL. If you use the web application's client_id and client_secret in your OAuth2 requests then instead of having to copy and paste the authorization code as in GetRefreshToken, the redirect URL will receive the authorization code and should then exchange it for a refresh token, which you should store and use for all future requests against that user's account. This flow is described in detail here <https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer> .
