Adwords API limits

[Omri Cohen]

Hi,

I was looking for information regarding the Adwords API limits.

I came across good documentation for Google Analytics - https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/mgmt/v3/limits-quotas

I was wondering if there was similar documentation also for the Adwords API.

Thanks!

Omri.

Omri, 

The System Limits documentation is located here:

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/limits

You will not see any kind of rate limits there as the AdWords API rate limits are dynamic. It is expected that all clients properly back off if the current rate limit is exceeded. A RateExceededError is thrown if a client exceeds the rate limit.

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks Jason!

Are you suggesting trial and error as the best practice to learn about my limits?

You should add code that handles any RateExceededError that you get. Generally the error will include information about how long you should back off for (usually 30 seconds). It may take a full minute though before you can make a successful request, however, so you should be prepared to catch the error at least twice in a row.

Hi,

The limits are normally associated to mutate operations only of the AdWords API.

If you have further clarifications about Rate Limits, you may open a new thread regarding your concern.
