Work with google adwords api

What do I need to do to use the Google AdWords API? Do I really have to register at the MCC, pay money, and go through stupid tests with the Google Testing Service?

To use the AdWords API, you need to:

  • have a regular Google AdWords account (not my MCC - MCC) with campaigns
  • there is a MCC account ... which cannot have a campaign but has access to the API
  • link your regular AdWords account with a MCC account
  • request access to the API from your MCC account (My Profile section)
  • pay per use api for google speed rating

... you can apply for a free use of the API, however it is really cost-related. Here you need to do these stupid tests in order to be recognized as a certified partner and fulfill some other requirements . And yes, you need to pay for these tests (the last time I checked, it was $ 50 per test, there are about 4 for AdWords, I don’t know how much you need to go to get the certificate).

PS: these 2 accounts (AdWords and MCC) cannot be combined, and for some reason only MCC has access to the API ... wierd, but it goes "by design" in accordance with API support (I can’t find a link to this moment).

You can use the Adwords API without having MCC or passing any tests, even without using an Adwords account, using the Adwords API sandbox http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/sandbox.html

Of course, this should only be used for development and testing.

You do not need to take any tests to access the Google AdWords API.

Google adwords api is free for basic access, but the payment details you need

provide google adwords.

You can refer to this link for the registration process and receive an approving token,
