How are API calls counted?

[Costantin]

If I want to create 100 ad groups, something like this:

# Create ad group.

all_adgroups = []

for x in range(200):

ad_group_operation = client.get_type('AdGroupOperation', version=google_ads_version)

ad_group = ad_group_operation.create

ad_group.name.value = 'Earth to Mars cruises %s' % uuid.uuid4()

ad_group.status = client.get_type('AdGroupStatusEnum', version=google_ads_version).ENABLED

ad_group.campaign.value = campaign_service.campaign_path(customer_id, campaign_id)

ad_group.type = client.get_type('AdGroupTypeEnum', version=google_ads_version).SEARCH_STANDARD

ad_group.cpc_bid_micros.value = 10000000

all_adgroups.append(ad_group_operation)

# Add the ad groups.

try:

    ad_group_response = ad_group_service.mutate_ad_groups(customer_id, all_adgroups[:2])

except google.ads.google_ads.errors.GoogleAdsException as ex:

    abort(400, "ERROR")

Does this count as 1 API call or 200 ones?

Hello,

It should be counted as 1 API call and 200 operations. You could refer here to know more about counting the API operations.
