Data Manager API Setup

Setup Authentication

Refer to Set up API access for more details.

  1. Enable API (Prerequisite): Check that the user has enabled the Data Manager API in their Google Cloud project.
  2. Generate ADC: Authenticate the local workspace using Application Default Credentials (ADC) via gcloud auth application-default login.
    • Required Scopes: Include scopes https://www.googleapis.com/auth/datamanager and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform.
    • Multi-API Scopes: If using the same credentials for other APIs, append their scopes (e.g., https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords).
    • Service Accounts: Ensure the Service Account has the Service Usage Consumer IAM role, and the user executing gcloud has the Token Creator role (roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator) on that Service Account for impersonation.

Install Client & Utility Libraries

Refer to Install a client library for more details.

The companion utility libraries provide pre-built helper classes and functions to correctly format, hash, and encrypt user identifiers (such as emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses) prior to API ingestion. Use of these libraries is highly recommended to ensure that user identifier formatting matches the API's specifications.
