Google Ads API - One-Time Auth Setup
Hi Jon, I need you to complete a one-time OAuth authorization so the automation scripts can access your Google Ads accounts.
What This Does
Grants our automation read-only access to pull Google Ads performance data (spend, clicks, impressions, conversions) for the weekly reports.
Steps (takes ~1 minute)
1
Open this link in your browser
Copy-paste this entire URL into your browser:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=983978663396-dap4i25njcc65l3se6a8enpvtfif5lqj.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=http://localhost&response_type=code&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords&access_type=offline&prompt=consent2
Sign in and click Allow
- Sign in with the Google account that manages your Google Ads (the one with access to your US + EU ad accounts)
- Click Allow

Copy the code from the URL bar
After you click Allow, the browser will redirect to a page that won't load
(that's normal - it tries to go to http://localhost).
Look at the URL bar in your browser. It will look something like:
http://localhost/?code=4/0AXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&scope=...
Copy everything between code= and &scope - that's the authorization code.

Send me that code
Just paste the code and send it to me. I'll exchange it for a refresh token on my end.
That's it! No terminal, no Python, nothing to install.
