We have the exact same problem here. We've been live and using the API for 
months then all of a sudden we started getting similar error messages.  Good 
luck finding an actual support number or even email for API questions.  I 
think these forums are the only support access.

I decided to finally call the generic AdWords help number (866-246-6453) and 
hope to find someone who could help. I was informed by a rep that the issue 
was our MCC account did not have a "client/child" account setup with an 
active campaign. Our account was originally created as a pure MCC account 
months ago.  We applied for API access and were approved (after a long wait) 
without having setup any sort of client/child adwords accounts or any 
"campaigns". Everything was running fine until just now.

I created a child adwords account (which you need in order to call in any 
event). I followed the reps instructions and created a dummy campaign and 
ad.  The rep then told me to re apply to the API using  the client account. 
However, I see no way of doing that?? From what I can see the API account is 
tied to the MCC account, not the client adwords account.  

So, one more call. This time I'm told my original API account should never 
have worked in the first place and to do what the other rep suggested and 
re-apply at the MCC.  I did that, but the rep said there's no way to push it 
through. Ugh!

I'm not sure if any of that makes sense, does everyone else have a single 
MCC and no clients?  If that's the case then this might be the issue 
otherwise it's help center run-around.  Hope it helps.
