Developer Token Reset
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
An issued developer token is a unique
combination of letters, numbers, and characters that is required for
communicating with the Google Ads API server. It authorizes your Google Ads API activity and
thus you should treat it like a password.
Key Point: You should reset your developer token if you believe that it's been
compromised, or if a team member who has knowledge of the token has left.
What happens on reset?
A reset will immediately invalidate your previous token, so any API requests
using the old token will fail. However, a reset will not trigger a re-review
and approval for the new developer token. You can start using the new developer
token immediately.
How do I reset my developer token?
Sign in to your Google Ads Manager
Account .
Click TOOLS & SETTINGS (wrench icon) on the top right corner of the screen.
Under SETUP , select API Center .
Under API Access , expand the Developer token section.
Click Reset token .
Key Point: While you're on this page, confirm that your API contact email is a
valid email address that's actively monitored by your team. It's recommended
that this address be for a team instead of an individual.
