+
+These two trip everyone up, so plainly: `CUSTOMER_ID` is **which account to act on**, `LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID` is **which manager to go through to reach it**. A manager (MCC) account holds no campaigns itself; it just grants access to the client accounts under it. So:

 Keep the OAuth app in the **In Production** publishing status. In Testing, refresh tokens expire after 7 days.
 
 For hosted (http) use you don't set a refresh token at all. Users authorize themselves in the browser and the server stores each token encrypted. See below.
 
+### Getting a refresh token (OAuth Playground)
+
+For stdio mode you supply one account's refresh token. Two settings are what everyone gets wrong, so both steps below are required:
+
+1. **Add the Playground redirect to your OAuth client.** In Google Cloud Console, open your OAuth client (the one whose id and secret you use) under APIs & Services, then Credentials. Under **Authorized redirect URIs**, add `https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground` and save. Miss this and the Playground fails with `redirect_uri_mismatch`.
+2. **Use your own client in the Playground.** Open the [OAuth 2.0 Playground](https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground), click the **gear** (top right), check **Use your own OAuth credentials**, and paste the same client id and secret. Miss this and the token is minted for Google's demo client, which later fails with `unauthorized_client`.
+3. **Authorize the Ads scope.** In the left panel under "Input your own scopes", enter `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords`, click **Authorize APIs**, and sign in with the Google account that can reach the ads account.
+4. **Exchange for the token.** Click **Exchange authorization code for tokens** and copy the `refresh_token` into `GOOGLE_ADS_REFRESH_TOKEN`.
+
+A token works only when both are true: it was minted by *your* client (step 2) and *your* client permits the Playground redirect (step 1). The Playground redirect is only needed for minting, so you can remove it from the client afterward; it is separate from the `PUBLIC_BASE_URL/auth/callback` redirect that http mode registers.
