Hey Stamatina,
I'm not sure which language you are using, but here is what I'm doing in
java.
In ads.properties you can see a section:-
*1.* api.adwords.clientCustomerId=INSERT_CLIENT_CUSTOMER_ID_HERE
You can define one of the client_ids that are connected to your MCC account.
Now, next time if you want to change the client Id to other ids that are
present in MCC account, you can simply do it by creating adwords session
and set the id in that session...like this:-
String clientLoginToken = new
ClientLoginTokens.Builder().forApi(ClientLoginTokens.Api.ADWORDS).fromFile().build().requestToken();
AdWordsSession session = new
AdWordsSession.Builder().fromFile().withClientLoginToken(clientLoginToken).build();
session.setClientCustomerId(clientCustomerId)
AdWordsServices adWordsServices = new AdWordsServices();
*2.* You can also use OAuth 2.0 for that. You don't have to refresh it all
the time.
In ads.properties set the refresh oauth token true
api.adwords.refreshOAuth2Token=true
*3.* I'm not sure on this one but I think you have to link the new client Id
with your MCC account.
*4.* If you want to refresh the authentications manually then I guess after
every 60 minutes you have to refresh the credentials.
5. I'm also facing this issue regarding storing the credential in the database
so that I can access it and refresh the same credential again and again.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Kapil
