Hi Jam, The API unit cost is intended to bear a relation to the expense that it costs our backend systems to process an operation. This is why using the MutateJobService costs 50% of normal units, as it processes the operations more efficiently.
In the case of a TextAd failing validation, the API has already performed a number of operations to ensure it complies with policies and to prepare to store this new Ad permanently - aborting it before it is done has still incurred CPU cycles. - Kevin Winter AdWords API Team On Wednesday, May 2, 2012 9:02:12 AM UTC-4, Jam wrote: > > > Hi, > > why does it cost 40 Api-units if an TextAdUpload leads to an > PolicyViolationError? > > Jam -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
