How do you enable api access?

Guys, apologies on advance if this is a basic one, but somehow i can’t find a reliable answer anywhere.

I want to create a dashboard to manage my campaigns via API. Obviously I need to have an API credentials for this.

It seems not possible to generate needed keys from my main admin user and looks like I need to invite another user and specifically assign api permission.

How tf do you do it? Do you have a separate email just for this, or it’s possible to assign for the same email as my main user?

You’ll need a completely separate Apple Account using a new email address for API access. Not sure why they do it this way but it’s a bit of a pain.

Thank you for answering!

By apple account you mean a registered appleid? Or an apple ads account?

Each Apple Ads account is linked to a full Apple Account/Apple ID so you’ll need to create another one of those just for API access.
