TargetingIdeaService, 800 keywords provided, the limit, yet still get an error

[Chloe]

I submitted 800 keywords for TargetingIdeaService. The limit is 800. 

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201605/TargetingIdeaService#get

It's giving me an error anyways.

$ yii kw/stats 

Warning: [CollectionSizeError.TOO_MANY @ selector.searchParameters[1].queries]
Error: Giving up.

Here is the code.

  function actionStats() {
    // 800 limit: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/limits#targetingidea
    $keywords = Keyword::find()->orderBy('modified_on')->limit(800)->all();
    $this->targetingIdeaService('STATS', $keywords);
   
  }
 
  function targetingIdeaService($requestType, $keywords) {
    $gaw = new GoogleAdWords();
    $user = $gaw->getUser();
    // Get the service, which loads the required classes.
    $targetingIdeaService = $user->GetService('TargetingIdeaService');
    // Create selector.
    $selector = new TargetingIdeaSelector();
    $selector->requestType = $requestType;

    // Note: As of v201302, only a single language parameter is allowed.
    $languageParameter = new LanguageSearchParameter();
    $english = new Language();
    $english->id = 1000;
    $languageParameter->languages = array($english);

    // Set the location parameter
    $location = new Location(); // USA // https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/geotargeting
    $location->id = 2840;
    $locationParameter = new LocationSearchParameter();
    $locationParameter->locations = array($location);


    // $categoryProductsAndServicesSearchParameter = new CategoryProductsAndServicesSearchParameter();
   
    // Set all the search parameters to the Selector
    $selector->searchParameters[] = $relatedToQuerySearchParameter;
    $selector->searchParameters[] = $languageParameter;
    $selector->searchParameters[] = $networkSearchParameter;
    $selector->searchParameters[] = $locationParameter;
   
    $relatedToQuerySearchParameter->queries = array();
    $index = 0;
    foreach ($keywords as $keyword) {
      $relatedToQuerySearchParameter->queries[] = $keyword->keyword;
      // echo "$index: $keyword->keyword\n"; $index++;
    }


    // Set selector paging (required by this service).
    $selector->paging = new Paging(0, max(AdWordsConstants::RECOMMENDED_PAGE_SIZE, 800));
    do {
      // Make the get request.
      try {
        $retry = false;
        $page = $targetingIdeaService->get($selector);
      } catch (\SoapFault $e) {
        Yii::error($e->getMessage());
        echo ("Warning: ".$e->getMessage().PHP_EOL);

I'm using v201605, and versions : * 10.0.0 of PHP composer client library.

RECOMMENDED_PAGE_SIZE is 500 but I still tried to hardcode 800 but it didn't help.

Here is the `request_info.log`. This request was for test environment, but it doesn't work in production either.

The real limit seems to be 700 (discovered with manual binary search). I think someone made a typo somewhere.

[Michael Cloonan (AdWords API Team)]

Hello,

Yes, that is correct. The limit is 700. We are already in the process of updating the documentation. I apologize for the inconvenience.
