REST Resource: accounts

Resource: Account

The Account message represents a business's account within Shopping Ads. It's the primary entity for managing product data, settings, and interactions with Google's services and external providers.

Accounts can operate as standalone entities or be part of a advanced account structure. In an advanced account setup the parent account manages multiple sub-accounts.

Establishing an account involves configuring attributes like the account name, time zone, and language preferences.

The Account message is the parent entity for many other resources, for example, AccountRelationship, Homepage, BusinessInfo and so on.
