Build out guide for setting up Adwords, Bing apps

[izzoa]

I think it would be beneficial to build out documentation for, or at least clarify, the actual steps to set up and integrate with Adwords and Bing.

With Adwords, for example, it seems to be necessary to request approval for Adwords' API access, yet this is not mentioned. I'm still seeking approval for Adwords API access. Also, it's not clear if the AOM settings field "User Agent" is actually required, as this StackOverflow article seems to suggest it's optional. If so, that would be useful mentioning in the UI.

With Bing, API access is a bit more straightforward but it's unclear what "Website-ID" listed in AOM settings is supposed to reference? Client-ID, I assume, is the application ID for the app registered in Microsoft's Application Registration Portal; then, I assume Client-Secret is the "public key" or password within that application? Developer token is provided at Bing API signup, then I assume access token is the API access key also provided via email after API signup.

I'm still trying to get this all set up, so if anyone can provide any helpful suggestions or clarifications that would be greatly appreciated!

I really appreciate the development of this, just wanted to point out a few things are a bit confusing for a new user to setup and configure!

Thank you very much for your feedback. Have you been able to set AdWords and Bing up by now? Perhaps you have any precise suggestions for what we should change to make it easier?

I would suggest publishing a documentation as AdWords API seems to be expecting a PDF file of sorts. You can view sample design documents here.

@uded have you been able to obtain the AdWords API token and get it working?
Perhaps we can use your document and reference it from http://www.advanced-online-marketing.com.
