Targeting Idea Service STATS CollectionSizeError.TOO_MANY

[Alex Benusovich]

I am getting a CollectionSizeError.TOO_MANY error when requesting stats for 800 keywords since July 28th. Before that it was working fine.

Documentation says 800 is the limit: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/limits#targetingidea

After some testing I determined the internal limit is now 700 (701 fails). Is the limit 700 now?

Thank!

Hi Alex,

The limit has not changed as far as I know. Could you please provide me with the SOAP request and response that resulted in this error so I can take a further look?

Thanks,

Anthony

I'm having the same issue.

Hi Michael,

Any updates from the engineering team about this? I'm still getting the same error for that request that used to work OK.

Thanks,

Any news?

Hello,

We have determined that the current limit is actually 700, and we're going to update the documentation to reflect that. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the update Mike. Slightly related question: are these limit constants available somewhere in the Java libraries? We are using the artifacts ads-lib and adwords-axis 2.17.0 from group com.google.api-ads. Currently we have these limits hardcoded, but would rather get them from the source.

Thanks,

Alex

Hello,

No, currently none of the client libraries do validation on values like this when making requests, although it's an interesting idea. I'll share the idea with the client libraries team.
