Hi, The sentence you quoted actually only applies to *approved* developer tokens.
''You can test with production data in a read only fashion on your > production accounts if you use the validateOnly > header<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/working-with-objects> > in > your requests.'' I'll update our documentation to make that clear. As mentioned in the Getting Started portion of that document<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/test-accounts#getting_started>, you can only issue API requests against *test* accounts (child accounts of your test MCC) while your developer token is pending approval.
