 Validating API Key / AdSense Management Reporting

David <mesoanalytics@gmail.com> Feb 22 03:19AM -0800  

Hi,
 
I'm trying to write a simple local windows program with C# that will download AdSense reporting daily so I can load the data into my db. I have almost no programming experience so I'm looking for the easiest way to do this.
 
I tried to validate my API Key was working by using the URL below but I keep getting a 401 unauthorized error when I replace YOUR_API_KEY with my key:
 
https://www.googleapis.com/adsense/v1/reports?startDate=2012-01-01&endDate=2012-02-01&pp=1&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
 
How do I validate my API Key? Are there any examples of using the AdSense Management API to get simple reporting using the API Key?
 
Thanks,
 
D

Hello David,
 
You can find the documentation for OAuth 2 authorization flows here:
http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OAuth2.html
 
From the use case that you describe I think you need one of these two
flows, the first one is for installed applications, the second one for
web applications:
http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OAuth2InstalledApp.html
http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer.html
 
Unfortunately we don't have examples of use in C#, but you can check
the Google APIs Client Library for .NET to see if you can use some of
the code from the project:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/
 
Cheers,
Silvano
