How will I get CustomerAccountId and CustomerId for Microsoft AdCenter API Version 6.0

Question

Hai,

        At first I used API Version 5.1.  For that we not needed CustomerAccountId and CustomerId. So, I not stored these 2 things. So, at that time I stored, UserName, Password, AccountId, DeveloperToken and ApplicationToken (always null). But API Verson 6.0 expects CustomerAccountId and CustomerId. To get these 2 things, I logged in 'https://sandbox.adcenter.microsoft.com/' and Selected the tab 'Accounts & Billing' ('https://sandbox.adcenter.microsoft.com/customer/AcctList.aspx') . Here I saw 2 fields 'Account number' and 'Account name'. As per my senior persons advice, I am using 'Account number' as CustomerAccountId and 'Account name' as CustomerId. If here is any mistake, I am really sorry and give me correct solution to this. Please. 

When ever I am trying to use the above CustomerAccountId and CustomerId, I got an error message 'Invalid client data. Check the SOAP fault details for more information'.

Hi Senthil

The CustomerId  is only needed for a small number of calls. If you are not using the target libraries, you probably won't need it. If you are using those, then you will need to contact support to retrieve that id.

thank you for using the forums. please let me know if you have other questions.
