Hi Lawrence, It's good you reached out to us, you have been on 3 difficult trips, so let me address each one. You are concerned your refresh token that was generated via an OOB copy/paste response code will expire on October 3 and we have the same concern, although we cannot give you certainty. When you tried to generate another refresh token you encountered an app verification requirement which blocks you from generating an access code. To get around this you tried to make a service account and the prerequisites to use a service account with Ads API are extremely heavy.
To get you up and running fast you may want to do one of these options: If you can click 'Advanced' on the Oauth error screen on the bottom right and authenticate anyways, then this is the simplest option. If it's available then you probably have an Exceptions to verification requirements and can continue to generate refresh tokens by clicking past the warning You can Configure a Google API Console Project for the Google Ads API, with the same developer token, as long as the new project is exempt you should be good to go. Go through Oauth verification - How to verify: OAuth API verification FAQs - Google Cloud Platform Console Help General information: Unverified apps - Google Cloud Platform Console Help. Make an internal app, only your Google Workspace domain accounts will be able to access through this internal app. Service accounts - with a Google Workspace domain account, delegate domain-wide authority to your service account and only being able to access accounts that have a user in that Google Workspace and deal with the Security concerns. Note that a Google Cloud Platform project with an OAuth consent screen configured for an external user type and a publishing status of "Testing" is issued a refresh token expiring in 7 days. Feel free to reach out to us.
