Data Manager API Setup

Setup Authentication

Refer to Set up API access

for more details.

Enable API (Prerequisite): Check that the user has enabled the Data

Manager API in their Google Cloud project.

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.
