Re: Targeting Idea STATS service: RATE_LIMIT error after 3 consecutive operations

['Luis Xander Talag (AdWords API Team)' via AdWords API Forum]

Hi Federico,

The rateScope=ACCOUNT 

 indicates 
that you are making too many request against a single AdWords account at a 
single given time. Regardless of access level, this limit will be 
encountered if too many requests are made. I would suggest to review and 
reduce any requests being made at once in order to avoid this error. 

Additionally, since you are using the TargetingIdeaService 
,
 
you may note that this is a more expensive service to call as compared to 
the other services of the AdWords API. The rate limits for this service are 
significantly more strict than for other services that can be used for 
managing campaigns. The rate limits can vary based on time of day, overall 
volume of API usage by all users, and other factors. Our team do not 
publish specific allowable QPS numbers to allow for this variance, and 
instead use rate limit errors and require that integrations against the API 
adhere to the timeouts as they encounter rate limit errors.

I hope this helps and feel free to write back if you have any further 
concerns.

Thanks and regards,
Luis
AdWords API Team

Targeting Idea STATS service: RATE_LIMIT error after 3 consecutive operations

[Federico Conti]

Hi All,

What is the limit of Targeting Idea STATS service per minute?

I can't find this in the documentation.

I created a script that requests the service 3 consecutive times, but if I 
don't put a 30 seconds pause between the requests, I encounter the 
RateExceededError called "RATE_LIMIT".

These are the details of the error - my API access is Basic:

RateExceededError
rateName=RATE_LIMIT
rateKey=null 
rateScope=ACCOUNT
retryAfterSeconds=30


I would like to minimize the time of the script, but I have no indications 
from the documentation regarding requests per minute limits, can you please 
help?

Thanks in advance,
Federico
