Is there Google Ads manager - read only link?

Question

I am trying to build Google ads API in python. I have the token and access but now I need to link accounts to my MCC account. But the "Link existing accounts" give me full access. I only need read only. Is there read only "Link existing accounts"?

Thanks, Tal

No, there's no such option.

However, if your goal is to have read-only API access to a specific account you can still achieve that by adding a user (i.e. Google account) with read-only access to that account and then generating OAuth2 credentials for that user. You do not need to use an manager account / MCC to be able to utilize the Google Ads API.
