I believe I have it working, and am leaving a note for whomever may benefit
from this. I'll try and leave as much detail as possible, even if some of
them are basic:
1. If you don't already have a production manager account:
1. Create a new ads account at https://ads.google.com/ using any user
(t...@example.com)
2. If you don't right away want a live campaign, click 'Switch to
expert mode' at the bottom and then click 'Create an account without a
campaign'
2. Now that you have a production manager account, you want to create a
test manager account using the same google account (t...@example.com).
1. To do this, the correct link doesn't seem to be in the API docs
but instead is in the adwords doc:
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/accounts-overview#test_accounts
2. Go to step 2 of that document, "Create a test manager account" and
it takes you to:
https://adwords.google.com/um/Welcome/?sf=mt
The important part seems to be 'sf=mt' parameter -- without that, you
are creating a production account
3. When you land on that page, do NOT click any of your existing
accounts in the "Use google ads as.." and do NOT switch google accounts
using the "Switch google account" button. You must use the same google
account but a new google *ads* account
Click "New google ads account"
4. Now on the next page, you will see a red 'test account' box at the
top right.
Just fill out the name and basic details, click submit, and you're
done!
3. Create an account under your test manager account
4. Use your API token from the production manager account and the client
IDs from your test manager account in your API configuration
I believe that's it - however I'm writing from memory so excuse any
mistakes and please reply if you find something out of place.
Cheers,
Arlen
