This is the high-level process to get going with the Platforms API:
- Create a new Google Cloud project (or use an existing one)
- Create a service account in your Google Cloud project, and send the account to Google via your account manager to get it added to your AdSense account
- Enable the AdSense Platform API for your Google Cloud project (note that this page is only visible to allowlisted projects)
- Create a service key
- Use Google's OAuth libraries to generate an access token
- Call the AdSense Platform APIs using HTTP requests
Steps 1 to 5 are described in the Authenticating API calls page, and the APIs are described in their respective pages:
