Hi - thank you for your reply! (I posted a response but it's not showing here)
To summarize : In my Ads Manager account (under https://ads.google.com/aw/apicenter), I have created a Developer Token and applied for Basic Access In the same Ads Manager account (under https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials?project=xxxxxxxxx), I have created a Client ID / Secret for both Desktop and Web applications. Once the dev token is approved for Basic Access, can I use the above to connect to any Ad account. Like in this statement : "*MCC hierarchy for API calls doesn't matter*" - does this mean, once I get the Developer token basic access approved, I can use that to access (assuming they give approval) any Ad account (like Bank A, Bank B, Bank C ad accounts - under different Ad managers / customers)? Pl help clarify this. Thanks!
