Hi Scott, In the AdWords API, there are two types of account, AdWords Manager account (MCC) <https://www.google.com/adwords/manager-accounts/> and the AdWords account. The manager AdWords account is used to manage the AdWords accounts and to apply for developer token. When you apply for developer token, it will have pending approval status. Once the developer token is approved then you could make API call. However, you could make the API call to your test AdWords account with developer token with pending approval status. Please check out our Test account guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/test-accounts> and create the test manager account and test AdWords account. Please check out our getting started guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/start>.
I recommend against using service accounts <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/service-accounts>. It has very limited benefits comparing to normal flow and requires you to be a domain administrator. You could create the client id and client secret by following the steps given in the OAuth2 <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/wiki/Using-OAuth-2.0>.0 python guide.
