Too many adgroups or what I am doing wrong?

[WDirk]

Hi, I've got a code that should create around 6000 adgroups, but after a while when it is running, it gives me this ERROR:

Error summary: {'faultMessage': 'InternalApiError.UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR @ com.google.ads.api.services.common.error.InternalApiError.<init>(InternalApiErro', 'serviceName': 'AdGroupService', 'methodName': 'mutate'}

is it because too many iterations?

Hi,

The error UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR you are encountering means that the AdWords API server had problems processing your request or it could also be due to a bug. It is advised to wait for a few minutes before doing the service call again. Could you confirm if you are encountering this consistently?

If yes, could you provide the complete SOAP request and response logs that were generated when the error was encountered via Reply privately to author so I could investigate this further? If you have not enabled logging yet, you may refer to this guide on how to do so.

The limit should not be a problem. As stated in this guide, 20000 ad groups are allowed per campaign.

Regards,

Dannison
