 Having issues embedding an ad unit's code I get from AdSense Host API into my website

Hi Ronen,
 
Let me answer your questions by number:
 
1. The 400 errors are likely because these are sandbox accounts, yes. I'm
not entirely sure what mechanism is used to prevent them from serving, but
I know they will not serve ads (since they're only for testing). The fact
that you say the API call is working correctly seems to validate this.
 
2. It's always best to create the ad unit with your preferred style (the
one you'll be using most of the time). You could then later override it
when generating the ad code, in case there's a property you need to change,
but we don't currently make this functionality available through the API,
so you'd have to parse and modify the generated ad code (which is a bit
icky). As for size, that cannot be overridden since it has the potential to
affect page rendering (which is why we won't let you change it once you
create the ad unit), so you need a separate ad unit in that case.
 
3. Ah, that's incorrect, it should be "SLIGHTLY_ROUNDED", not "ROUNDED".
I'll try to get that page fixed.
 
Cheers,
Sérgio

Hi Sérgio,
 
Thanks for your quick answer.
 
One more question please. Once I go to production (or now if I only want to
make sure displaying ads really do work), how can I have a host account
that can actually display ads? I understand that a sandbox account is for
testing, but how can I get a hold of an account that can be used for
production?
 
Thanks again,

Hi Ronen,
 
Once you go live, your existing (production) AdSense account will be
enabled for Host functionality. Publisher accounts created with that one
will be production AdSense accounts, which are able to serve ads. I'm
afraid there's no way for you to test this now, unless you're already an
existing host, using v3. :-/
 
Oh, as a sidenote, you should keep the sandbox account even after you go
live, so that you have a test account if you ever want to develop new
features!
 
Cheers,
Sérgio

Hmm, sounds like the PHP client isn't handling arrays correctly. Perhaps
file a bug on the client's issue tracker<http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/issues/list>?
The author should be able to help you figure out the issue.
 
Cheers,
Sérgio
