serialization of binary data and includes a
protoc plugun for generating classes from
.proto files.

10. Generate
client ID and
client secret
key

11. Open the Google API Console
Credentials page.
Navigate the following path to create a
project: Select a project > NEW
PROJECT > Enter project’s name OR
Edit the provided project ID. Click
Create.
Select Create credentials and click on
OAuth client ID on the Credentials page.
If prompted for setting the product
name on the Consent screen, click
Configure consent screen, provide the
information asked for, and click Save
and you will return to the Credentials
screen.
Follow these instructions to generate a
client ID and client secret key.

12. Select the Application type and click
Create
Copy your client ID and client secret as
you will be needing them for
configuring your client library.

13. Enable Google
Ads API

14. Open the Google API Console
Credentials page
Navigate to APIs & Services -> Library
Search for Google Ads API
Open the Google Ads API library and
enable it
For using the Google Ads API we will need
to enable it. So, follow these instructions to
enable the Google Adwords API.

15. Generate
Developer
Token

16. Login to Google Ads Manager account
Navigate to TOOLS & SETTINGS >
SETUP > API Center. The API Center
option appears only for Google Ads
manager accounts.
Fill out the form to request a developer
token.
Without a developer token, you won’t be
able to proceed further. With the help of the
below steps generate your developer token.
Note: Only approved developer token will
be used for production. A non-approved
developer token can only be used with a
test account.

17. Generate
Refresh
Token

18. Run AuthenticateInDesktop
To run any of the above files go to path
for file then php filename.
Application.php
or
AuthenticateInWebApplication.php in
the terminal.

19. Fetch Data
using Google
Adwords API
in Laravel
App

20. Copy sample google_ads_php.ini to
home directory.
Set google_ads_php.ini path in app
config.
So, far we are done with the initial project
set up and generating a developer token
for using Google Ads API. Now, let’s do
some coding.
'google_ads_php_path' =>
realpath(base_path('google_ads_php.ini'))

21. Register GoogleAdsClient in
AppServiceProvider
use
GoogleAdsGoogleAdsLibV9GoogleAdsCl
ientBuilder; use
GoogleAdsGoogleAdsLibOAuth2TokenB
uilder; public function register() { // Binds
the Google Ads API client. $this->app-
>singleton('GoogleAdsGoogleAdsLibV9
GoogleAdsClient', function () { // Constructs
a Google Ads API client configured from the
properties file. return (new
GoogleAdsClientBuilder()) -
>fromFile(config('app.google_ads_php_pat
h')) ->withOAuth2Credential((new
OAuth2TokenBuilder()) -
>fromFile(config('app.google_ads_php_pat
h')) ->build()) ->build(); }); }

22. Github
Repository:
Google Ads
API

ads-api-demo and play around with
the code.
