Verify your account's connection to Merchant API
If you have an existing merchant account, you can use the
API explorer in the reference documentation to
verify that your account is ready to use with the Merchant API.
- Find the resource name of your account by concatenating
accounts/ and your
merchantId. You can find your merchantId in the top of
Google Merchant Center.
- In the API Explorer for the
accounts.products.list
method, do the following:
- Enter the resource name of your account in the
parent field.
- In the Credentials section, select Google OAuth 2.0 and API
key.
- Click Execute.
- If prompted, sign in with the Google Account associated with your Google
Merchant Center account.
If your merchant account is set up correctly, the request succeeds and returns
an HTTP response code 200. If you just created a new account, the
accounts.products.list method doesn't return any products.
Next,
use a client library to request access to other merchant accounts,
or
use a service account to authorize API access to your own account.
