Hi Vincent, Thanks very much for the prompt reply; I really appreciate it.
Concerning the nature of the application: I believe it is a installed app under that definition, but it depends on your definition of callback. I will need users to redirect back to my page after the click a button to authorize access (as specified in the redirect_uri). So in that sense, it will need a callback. However, other than that: no it will not need a callback. After they grant my app access to adwords, I will redirect to the site and my app will use that code to get a refresh token in the background. From them onwards, I intend on making API calls to their behalf in the back-end of my program. So am i correct in assuming this is then an installed app. And then if so, how do I handle several users- is the "ClientCustomerId" needed for every call. Is the refresh token not enough to verify specific calls to specific campaigns and adsets?
