You can request an upgrade to the *Standard access *level by completing the standard access application <https://www.google.com/adwords/api/standardaccess/>. > 3.

The most common source of *RateExceededErrors* with the *BillingPerDay* is TargetingIdeaService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/TargetingIdeaService>. If you are getting this from reporting requests could you let me know which reports you are running? You cannot really work around rate limits, but the Rate Limits Guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/rate-limits> contains some tips on best practices. Also, if you are using services to simply get structural information about your accounts, I'd recommend using Zero Impression Reports <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/zero-impression-reports> /Structure Reports <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/structure-reports> instead of the SOAP services. -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and Google+: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ https://plus.google.com/+GoogleAdsDevelopers/posts =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
