Google Ads OAuth Integration

Connect Google Ads to your application without building and maintaining the OAuth flow.

Google Ads is Google's online advertising platform. Each user connects their own Google Ads account through your OAuth app. Pathfix manages the authorization flow, stores and refreshes their tokens, and authenticates the requests your application makes to the Google Ads API. What your integration does with that access is up to your code.

How Pathfix helps

  • 01

    OAuth authorization

    Pathfix runs the authorization flow with your Google Ads OAuth app, so users approve access on Google’s own consent screen.

  • 02

    Token management

    Each user’s access and refresh tokens are stored by Pathfix rather than in your application.

  • 03

    Token refresh

    Where Google Ads issues refresh tokens, Pathfix refreshes them as they expire, so connections keep working after the first authorization.

  • 04

    Authenticated API passthrough

    Your application sends Google Ads API requests through Pathfix, which adds the connected user’s credentials before passing them on to Google Ads.

You own the Google Ads OAuth application and its credentials, and your code implements the API logic.

    In your Pathfix account, add an application, select Google Ads from the providers and enter the Client ID and Client Secret.
