What it does

This skill gives the agent a step-by-step playbook for getting a computer ready to call Google's Data Manager API. It explains how to enable the API in a Google Cloud project, set up Application Default Credentials (either as a Google user or as a service account), verify the access token, and install the official client and utility libraries for Python, Java, Node, PHP or .NET. It does not write audience or event ingestion logic; the skill itself points to separate skills for that.

Great for

  • Developers starting their first integration with the Google Data Manager API
  • Google Ads or Display & Video 360 teams setting up local authentication for the API
  • Data partners who need guidance on creating partner links in advertiser accounts

Skip it if

  • Building audience or event upload code, which the skill redirects to other skills (data-manager-api-audience-ingestion or data-manager-api-event-ingestion)
  • Production deployment of credentials, since the skill points to external docs for that rather than covering it
  • Anyone without a Google Cloud project and an account with a role able to enable APIs, because the steps cannot be completed without one

Try asking

  • “Set up my local environment to use the Data Manager API with a service account”
  • “Install the Python client library and the utility library for Data Manager”
  • “Walk me through the OAuth consent screen steps for a user-account login to Data Manager”
  • “My Data Manager calls return PERMISSION_DENIED even though my token works, what should I check?”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Pick the authentication path first: user account for personal testing, service account impersonation for local development, and the production docs for anything deployed.
  • Ask the agent to name the exact IAM role your account needs before running commands, since the skill says to always state the required role.
  • Avoid service account keys; the skill recommends impersonation instead because keys are harder to manage securely.
