Exceeding 1,000 GET requests quota/day

[Christine Lee]

Hi all,

We launched a global dashboard to 40,000 users this morning, using the Ads API. Unfortunately we exceeded the 1,000 GET requests quota within 10 minutes. Has anyone else ever used this API for a similarly large (or even larger) use case? Please let us know - we would love to understand how you solved this issue and if there are alternatives or exceptions.

For reference, we have Basic Access but even if we were able to upgrade to Standard Access, it won't change the 1,000 GET quota limit.

Thank you!

Hi Christine,

Thanks for reaching out. Unlike daily operations, the limits on get requests do not vary by access level; all developer tokens, including those with Standard Access, are limited to 1,000 get requests per day. Unlike search requests, get requests are expensive because all attribute data is retrieved. Use search instead of get whenever possible. Search requests are not considered to be the same as get requests, even though both are used to retrieve data. Therefore, search requests are only subject to daily operation limits. You could refer to this code example on how to issue the search request. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks and regards,
Xiaoming, Google Ads API Team
