Hi Bikram, If the accounts are not linked to your MCC, you need to get a separate access token (and a refresh token) for each client account. In that case, I think an installed application mechanism is not practical because it requires manual process for each account.
You can use the web application flow<https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2#webserver> by preparing a web server that doesn't require manual process in your side when a client grants your application access to their data. > Also please let me know what is the durability of our refresh token. Will not ever change after we give access and generate it. A refresh token never expires unless you explicitly revoke the access.
