Start index too high - Ads

[te...@segment.com]

We're getting an error that start index is too high when fetching all ads for some customers. What's the recommended way of retrieving all ads for customers with more than 100,000?

Hi Tejas,

To avoid the 100,000 limit of the Start index of the request when retrieving a large result set, you can,

1. Narrow the query as much as possible using predicates. You need to group queries by Campaign and AdGroup to retrieve only required data and to fit all results into one response.
2. Use API reports to obtain data. You can retrieve most fields with reports.
