[Live Demo] Building a Google Ads API Web App - Part 6: Google Ads API Setup
This is the sixth part of an 8-episode series, in which we’ll take a deep dive into developing web apps with the Google Ads API, with a focus on the OAuth flow, by building a multi-tenant app entirely from scratch.
This episode will demonstrate how to write easily maintainable code with the Google Ads API by creating “Google Ads Runner” that dynamically generates Google Ads clients with user-specific refresh tokens accessed via the secret manager implementation from Part 5. The “Google Ads Runner” also makes handling Google Ads exceptions and upgrading versions more efficient.
