Hello, Please see two resources on our developers site that should answer these questions.
Required Minimum Functionality <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/requirements>: This shows all the requirements your software has to meet in order to be allowed to use the API. There are a few different sets of requirements, depending on your specific tool, so make sure you read carefully. Get Started guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/start>: This guide covers everything you need to know about authentication. You should use the "installed application" flow for your use case; the guide will show you exactly how to set it up.
