RE: URGENT - Developer Token in Adwords API and Google Ads API Beta

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Swarnim,

Thank you for reaching out. Please find my response to your questions below:

Both child accounts and any other accounts outside hierarchy can use the 
developer token to access API.

They have the same behaviors. The developer token just grants the account 
access to the API. To access an account you would need to be authenticated with 
the OAuth2 credentials.


Thanks and regards,

URGENT - Developer Token in Adwords API and Google Ads API Beta

['Swarnim Shukla' via AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum]

Hi,

I am reading about developer token in both AdWords API and Google Ads API 
Beta ans i am little confused.

*AdWords API - *
*https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/accounts-overview#developer_token*
I am refering this link which says that if i generate developer account 
from a manager account A then i can only access its child accounts. Any 
other account which is not under manager account A hierarchy is not 
accessible.

*Google Ads API Beta* - 
*https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/first-call/overview#config*
This link says Your developer token grants access to the API, not to a 
particular account. Once your token is approved, you can use the same token 
for requests against all your Google Ads accounts, even if they're not 
linked to the manager account associated with the developer token.

It would be so helpful if you could answer below questions:

Q1. If I generate developer token for a manager account what accounts I can 
access with this developer account? Are only child accounts under this 
manager account is accessible or any other account outside hierarchy can 
also be accessed.

Q2. Why the developer tokens work differently for AdWords API and Google 
Ads API?

Regards,
Swarnim
