A Google-published agent skill that takes a developer from nothing to a first Google Ads API call that retrieves campaigns.
What the skill teaches
A Google-published agent skill that takes a developer from nothing to a first Google Ads API call that retrieves campaigns. The agent must look up the newest API version and minimum language runtimes from Google's release notes and client library pages instead of hard-coding them, with fallbacks if offline. It explains how to obtain a developer token, OAuth client, refresh token, customer ID and login customer ID, offers either one of six official client libraries or plain REST, and has fixed response checklists for errors such as USER_PERMISSION_DENIED and DEVELOPER_TOKEN_NOT_APPROVED. Language setup details sit in reference files; there are no scripts.
