Service Account Authentication

Docs

Service account authentication is recommended for server-to-server access for Google Ads API.

Having same concern - currently stuggling to implement google api "hack" to imitate user. Since I just need Server 2 Server communication to send conversion event automatically on purchase. According to google I should get service auth which provides only accessToken instead of refresh_token.

• Need constructor of Customer (self destructive after 1 h) which would take accessToken instead of refresh_token.

may be this info would be helpful

• googleapis client authentication with service account

then client can be looks like

const auth = new Auth.GoogleAuth({
    keyFile: 'key-file.json',
    scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords'],
});
const client = await auth.getClient();

• next step would be specify client to send request as it shown from ofic google doc

curl -i -X POST https://googleads.googleapis.com/v19/customers/CUSTOMER_ID/googleAds:searchStream \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" \
   -H "developer-token: DEVELOPER_TOKEN" \
   -H "login-customer-id: LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID" \
   --data-binary "@query.json"
