Hello, Most of the information that goes in the auth.ini file isn't related to any AdWords account. Your developer token authenticates that you're allowed to make API calls. The client ID and client secret tell the server what application is making the call.
The refresh token authenticates you as a user of a specific account, usually a manager account which gives you access to all child accounts within it. You can specify this on the fly to manage multiple accounts with separate refresh tokens. Similarly, the client customer ID field tells the API what specific account you want to modify. If you want to act on multiple accounts, you can modify which account you're accessing on the fly. You can find an example of how to set this all up programmatically instead of with the .ini file here: https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib/blob/master/examples/AdWords/Auth/CreateAdWordsUserWithoutIniFile.php Regards, Mike, AdWords API Team On Tuesday, November 29, 2016 at 9:34:43 AM UTC-5, [email protected] wrote: > > Hi. > > Do all these parameters need to belong to a single account only? > Or can some of these parameters belong to other account and some belong to > another? > > Thank you. > > On Thursday, June 12, 2014 at 9:08:27 PM UTC+8, Michael Cloonan (AdWords > API Team) wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> The developerToken is a string associated with your MCC, that must be >> approved, that would grant you access to perform API operations.
