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:

Then, enable the AdSense Platform API for the project and generate a service key. Use Google's OAuth libraries to obtain an access token. Finally, make HTTP requests to call the AdSense Platform APIs. These APIs enable creating, getting accounts, adding event data, adding sites, and requesting site reviews. Steps to generate the service key and authentication are available at [Authenticating API calls](/adsense/platforms/api/authenticating-api-calls).\n"]]
