Question about API limits and quotas based on specific example

[Alex Papageorgiou]

Hi,

Can you please help me understand how the steps below count against the basic daily api limits? 

The below is 100 pc based on the code example from  your github page 

https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-python/blob/868bf36689f1ca4310bdead9c46eed61b8ad1d11/examples/planning/add_keyword_plan.py#L31-L280

1.Create a KeywordPlan

2.Add a KeywordPlanCampaign to the KeywordPlan

3.Adds KeywordPlanAdGroups to the KeywordPlanCampaign

4.Add KeywordPlanAdGroupKeywords to the KeywordPlanAdGroups

Would this sequence use 4 out of the 5,000 available mutate operations as listed here https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/best-practices/quotas ? 

Or are they counted as regular operations ie 4 out of the 15,000 available? 

Thanks,

Alex Papageorgiou

Hello Alex,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Since you're using the KeywordPlanService and according to this guide, planning service methods listed from that guide are subject to separate limits from other types of requests.

Hi Mark,

Can you clarify if you mean that the standard limits do not apply to planning? 

My understanding was that the "separate limits" are in addition to the standard ones. 

Otherwise as long as the rate limit was respected and the max number of keywords per plan not exceeded, anyone could execute an infinite number of keyword plan related operations, which I think isn't the case, with basic access at least. 

I hope the clarification to my question makes sense. 

Thank you,
