    If you received an error saying DEVELOPER_TOKEN_PROHIBITED then read the following workaround.
    Each Google API Console project can be associated with the developer token from only one manager account. Once you make a Google Ads API request, the developer token is permanently paired to the Google API Console project. If you don't use a new Google API Console project, you'll get a DEVELOPER_TOKEN_PROHIBITED error when making a request. Unfortunatly there is no other way to Unlink old Developer Token from the API Project, so for now just create a new Project as a workaround to fix this error.

    Steps how to get and use Google Ads credentials

    To access Google Ads API (your data or someone else data) you must perform the following steps (high level). Detailed steps listed in the next sections.

    1. Create a Manager account.
    2. Apply for Production data access (Upgrade Developer Token access Level to Basic).
    3. Link manager account with Google Ads Account.
    4. Inside Manager account apply for Basic API Access level so you can use Developer Token to access Live data (Production Ads account). Without Basic access level Developer Token can be only used for Test / Sandbox Ads account.
    5. Create a new Project and obtain Client Id and Client Secret

    Manager Account Setup - Obtain Developer Token

    To access Google Ads API (your data or someone else data) you must perform the following steps (high level). Detailed steps listed in the next sections.

    1. Create a Google Ads Manager account (formally known as MCC).
    2. Apply for Production data access (Upgrade Developer Token access Level to Basic).
    3. Link manager account with Google Ads Account.
    4. Create a new Project and obtain Service Account details

    Step-1: Create a Google Ads Manager account (formally known as MCC)

    Very first step to access Google Ads API for your own account or someone else account, you will need something called Google Manager Account (formally known as MCC). It will look like a Normal Google Ads Account with some difference so dont get confused if you see similar interface as Ads account.
    Click here to see detailed instructions on how to create a manager account. Once you created a manager account, you can login or switch between Ads account and Manager account like below. You can identify manager account using "Manager" word next to the account id when you click Profile dropdown. Login as Google Ads Account Manager (formally known as MCC)

    Step-2: Obtain Developer Token

    Once you have created and logged in to your Google Ads Manager Account (formally known as MCC) we are ready for the next step which is obtain Developer Token. To access Google Ads API you need to pass developer token in each API call. By default Developer Token is only allowed to access Sandbox (Test) account. If you like to access Production data (Live Ads Account) then you must apply for Basic Access by clicking link under Access Level (See next section for information).
    Here is how to can obtain your Developer Token.

    • Log in as Manager account (Or change Top-Right Profile > Choose Manager account ID
    • Click on Admin icon
    • Click on API Center (This option will be missing if you are logged in to Regular Ads account as Client and not using Manager Account (MMC)
    • Expand Access Level, Click Apply for Basic Access if it says "Test". By default Developer Token is created with Test Account access only. To access Production Ads account you must apply for higher access level. Must be Basic or Standard (not Test). After click the link you will see form with few questions, please fill out that and submit the form. Apploval process may take 3-5 days (or longer in some cases if you did not provide enough information).
    • If your token is already approved for the basic access then copy the token and paste on the Google Ads Connector - Connection UI (For Developer Token property)
    Click here to see detailed instructions on obtaining a developer token
    Developer Token for Google Ads API Access in API Center (Visible when logged in as Manager Account)

    Link Manager Account to Google Ads Account

    After you have manager account ready, next step is to link manager account with Google Ads Account. You have to send invitation from Manager account to access Google Ads account (it can be your own account or someone else). Here is how to send invite to link Google Ads account.
    • Log in as Manager account (Or change Top-Right Profile > Choose Manager account ID
    • Click on Accounts icon > Sub-account settings > Send Link Request

    8. Done! We are ready to add a Key to this service account in the next step.

    Step-4: Add Key to Service Account

    We are ready to add a Key (JSON or P12 key file) to the created Service Account:

    1. In Service Accounts open newly created service account:

      Open service account in Google Cloud
    2. Next, copy email address of your service account for the later step:

      Copy service account email address in Google Cloud
    3. Continue by selecting KEYS tab, then press ADD KEY dropdown, and click Create new key menu item:

      Start creating key for service account in Google Cloud
    4. Finally, select JSON (Engine v19+) or P12 option and hit CREATE button:

    5. Key file downloads into your machine. We have all the data needed for authentication, let's proceed to the last step!

    Step-5: Give Permissions to Service Account

    Now it's time to grant permission to Service Account we just created:

    1. Login to https://ads.google.com/aw/settings/account with Google Ads account credentials (If propmpted choose your Ads account).
    2. Go to Admin section, Access and security, Click on Users tab.

    3. Click on Add Icon (+) and enter service account email address which you like to use for data access and choose permissions.
    4. That's it! Let's proceed to the configuration!

    Step-6: Configure connection

    1. Now go to SSIS package or ODBC data source and configure these fields in Service Account authentication configuration:

      • In the Service Account Email field paste the service account Email address value you copied in the previous step.
      • In the Service Account Private Key Path (i.e. *.json OR *.p12) field use downloaded key file path.
    2. Done! Now you are ready to use Google Ads Connector!
    If you received an error saying DEVELOPER_TOKEN_PROHIBITED then read the following workaround.
    Each Google API Console project can be associated with the developer token from only one manager account. Once you make a Google Ads API request, the developer token is permanently paired to the Google API Console project. If you don't use a new Google API Console project, you'll get a DEVELOPER_TOKEN_PROHIBITED error when making a request. Unfortunatly there is no other way to Unlink old Developer Token from the API Project, so for now just create a new Project as a workaround to fix this error.

  8. That's it; we successfully configured the POST API Call. In a few clicks we configured the Google Ads API call using ZappySys Google Ads Connector

    Execute Package - Reading data from API Source and load into target

Load Google Ads data into SQL Server using Upsert Destination (Insert or Update)

Once you configured the data source, you can load Google Ads data into SQL Server using Upsert Destination.

Upsert Destination can merge or synchronize source data with the target table. It supports Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Redshift databases as targets. Upsert Destination also supports very fast bulk upsert operation along with bulk delete.

Upsert operation - a database operation which performs INSERT or UPDATE SQL commands based on record's existence condition in the target table. It inserts records that don't have matching records in the target table or updates them, if they do, by matching them by key columns.

Upsert Destination supports INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations, so it is similar to SQL Server's MERGE command, except it can be used directly in SSIS package.

  1. From the SSIS Toolbox drag-and-drop Upsert Destination component onto the Data Flow designer background.

  2. Connect your SSIS source component to Upsert Destination.

  3. Double-click on Upsert Destination component to open configuration window.

  4. Start by selecting the Action from the list.

  5. Next, select the desired target connection or create one by clicking <New [provider] Connection> menu item from the Target Connection dropdown.

  6. Then select a table from the Target Table list or click New button to create a new table based on the source columns.

  7. Continue by checking Insert and Update options according to your scenario (e.g. if Update option is unchecked, no updates will be made).

  8. Finally, click Map All button to map all columns and then select the Key columns to match the columns on:

    Configure SSIS Upsert Destination component to merge data with SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Redshift table
  9. Click OK to save the configuration.

  10. Run the package and Google Ads data will be merged with the target table in SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Redshift:

    Execute Package - Reading data from API Source and load into target
  11. Done!

Deploy and schedule SSIS package

After you are done creating SSIS package, most likely, you want to deploy it to SQL Server Catalog and run it periodically. Just follow the instructions in this article:

Running SSIS package in Azure Data Factory (ADF)

To use SSIS PowerPack in ADF, you must first prepare Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime. Follow this link for detailed instructions:
