Set Up Your Application

If you are using a client library, your application will need to instantiate a Doubleclicksearch service object. All interaction with the Search Ads 360 API occurs through this service object. If you aren't using a client library you can skip this section, but you'll need to write some code that can send HTTP requests and parse the responses.

Each Doubleclicksearch instance needs a reference to an object that contains your credentials and OAuth 2.0 access token. Doubleclicksearch will pass the credentials and token to the Search Ads 360 API in each request. The following code demonstrates how to instantiate a Doubleclicksearch service object using OAuth 2.0 for installed applications.

If you haven't already obtained your OAuth 2.0 credentials for the Search Ads 360 API, see Set Up Authorization.
