Thanks Vincent for information.
We want to create refresh tokens for individual accounts because our vendor
(third party campaign manger who manages our accounts) also managing other
company account in same hierarchy,he dont want to give root manager account
refresh token as it will expose other company accounts too which he is
managing.
Since we are going to use refresh token per client account. I am going to
authenticate each refresh token in application startup it self and keep all
accesstokens in a HashMap to use later point.
I have seen accessToken expire time is one hour. Java Adwords client
libraries will automatically refresh access tokens once it expires right.
Below is the code I am going to use and My HashMap will be like map(
clientId,AdWordsSession );
public AdWordsSession generateAdwordsSession(final Properties prop,final
String clientId) {
String dpTokenUrl = (String) prop.getProperty(DP_TOKEN_URL);
String refreshToken = refreshTokenMap.get(clientId);
// Generate a refreshable OAuth2 credential.
Credential oAuth2Credential;
try {
oAuth2Credential = new
OfflineCredentials.Builder().forApi(Api.ADWORDS).withTokenUrlServer(dpTokenUrl).withRefreshToken(refreshToken).fromFile().build()
.generateCredential();
// Construct an AdWordsSession.
return new
AdWordsSession.Builder().fromFile().withOAuth2Credential(oAuth2Credential).build();
} catch (OAuthException | ValidationException | ConfigurationLoadException
e) {
LOGGER.error("Error in getting AdwordsSession with given credentials", e);
return null;
}
}
Can you please let me know whether above approach works or not ?
Thanks!
Hari.
