Google Ads connector

  1. Install the SDK

    Section titled “Install the SDK”
    Terminal window
    npm install @scalekit-sdk/node

    Full SDK reference: Node.js | Python

  2. Set your credentials

    Section titled “Set your credentials”

    Add your Scalekit credentials to your .env file. Find values in app.scalekit.com > Developers > API Credentials.

    .env
    SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL=<your-environment-url>
    SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
    SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>

  3. Set up the connector

    Section titled “Set up the connector”

    Register your Google Ads credentials with Scalekit so it handles the token lifecycle. You do this once per environment.

    Dashboard setup steps

    Register your Scalekit environment with the Google Ads connector so Scalekit handles the authentication flow and token lifecycle for you. The connection name you create will be used to identify and invoke the connection programmatically. Then complete the configuration in your application as follows:

    1. Set up auth redirects

      • In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections > Create Connection. Find Google Ads and click Create. Click Use your own credentials and copy the redirect URI. It looks like https://<SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/sso/v1/oauth/<CONNECTION_ID>/callback.

        Copy redirect URI from Scalekit dashboard

      • Navigate to Google Cloud Console → APIs & Services → Credentials. Select + Create Credentials, then OAuth client ID. Choose Web application from the Application type menu.

        Select Web Application in Google OAuth settings

      • Under Authorized redirect URIs, click + Add URI, paste the redirect URI, and click Create.

        Add authorized redirect URI in Google Cloud Console

    2. Enable the Google Ads API

      • In Google Cloud Console, go to APIs & Services → Library. Search for “Google Ads API” and click Enable.

    3. Get client credentials

      • Google provides your Client ID and Client Secret after you create the OAuth client ID in step 1.

    4. Add credentials in Scalekit

      • In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections and open the connection you created.

      • Enter your credentials:

        Add credentials in Scalekit dashboard

      • Click Save.

  4. Authorize and make your first call

    Section titled “Authorize and make your first call”
    quickstart.ts
    import { ScalekitClient } from '@scalekit-sdk/node'
    import 'dotenv/config'
    

    const scalekit = new ScalekitClient(
      process.env.SCALEKIT_ENV_URL,
      process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID,
      process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET,
    )
    const actions = scalekit.actions
    

    const connector = 'googleads'
    const identifier = 'user_123'
    

    // Generate an authorization link for the user
    const { link } = await actions.getAuthorizationLink({ connectionName: connector, identifier })
    console.log('Authorize Google Ads:', link)
    process.stdout.write('Press Enter after authorizing...')
    await new Promise(r => process.stdin.once('data', r))
    

    // Make your first call
    const result = await actions.executeTool({
      connector,
      identifier,
      toolName: 'googleads_customers_list',
      toolInput: { developer_token: 'YOUR_DEVELOPER_TOKEN' },
    })
    console.log(result)
