I have created a Adwords Script and able to run in adwords UI. 

function getCurrentAccountDetails() {
var currentAccount = AdWordsApp.currentAccount();
Logger.log('Customer ID: ' + currentAccount.getCustomerId() +
   ', Currency Code: ' + currentAccount.getCurrencyCode() +
   ', Timezone: ' + currentAccount.getTimeZone());
var stats = currentAccount.getStatsFor('LAST_MONTH');
Logger.log(stats.getClicks() + ' clicks, ' +
   stats.getImpressions() + ' impressions last month');
}

Can I run Adwords scripts in Google App Scripts, since GAS can be published as webapps so that I can give some values on demand to the Adwords Script.

I am getting below error because in GAS no access to AdwordsApp. So is there a way to communicate to Adwords Scripts using App scripts.

ReferenceError: "AdWordsApp" is not defined.

My Requirement is to create video ads by taking inputs from the user. So for this I didn't found any Adwords API details, so I want to use AdwordsScript to create video ads by taking some parameters( name, video_url etc) from the outside.

    If you check the [Apps Script Reference](https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/calendar/) Adwords is not mentioned so it's safe to say that is on a domain of its own. Apps Scripts is for G Suite Services. You may also check [this post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17609843/adword-script-in-google-app-scripts) for additional reference. – ReyAnthonyRenacia Apr 20 '18 at 13:45

Not in any official way. There's no REST API and client libraries only exist for a handful of languages. GAS is not one of them. I was only able to find this NPM package for Node:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/adwords-api

Of course, this won't work with Apps Script, so you'll have to rewrite the code.

    This NPM package integrates with the Ads API, but the Ads API does not provide a method for executing Google Ads Scripts. – Nico Dec 13 '19 at 17:19

it seems you can through external API, and using OAuth libraries to connect (already included as libraries in google apps script):
