Umesh, Just so I make sure I understand what you are saying. I should stick with using the adwords account and not a service account. I have a token already but i think the issue is that i am using talend and a component created in that application called tGoogleAdWordsReport_1 and it requires a client secret file(json). Is the MCC user able to go in to whatever console they have access to and create the client secret account for me? When they attempted to do that it appears that you have to put in billing information into the developer console in order to set up a "project", why would this be a paid service if the API calls are only going to be pulling reports like 'KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT'.
