Adwords api rate limit error

[Dorcas Ujiji]

Hello,

One of our client's api call to customerServiceClient.listAccessibleCustomers() fails using java google-ads sdk. Here's the error we get: 

com.google.ads.googleads.v6.errors.GoogleAdsException: errors { 

   error_code { 

          quota_error: RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED 

      } 

     message: "Too many requests. Retry in 78432 seconds." 

     details { 

           quota_error_details { 

                rate_scope: DEVELOPER 

                rate_name: "Get requests for standard access"

                retry_delay { 

                       seconds: 78432 

                 } 

             } 

        }

}

According to this documentation, there's a limit of 1,000 requests/day https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/access-levels.  However we were able to confirm from looking at our apps dashboard that less than 500 total requests were made to the google ads api in that day. This has happened multiple times. 

I would like more information on what is going on and how to work around or fix them. Thank you.

Correction to my initial post, the api call that fails is:

customerServiceClient.getCustomer("customers/{customerId}")

Thank you.

Hi Dorcas,

Thank you for reaching out to us. In looking over your post, the issue appears to be that you have done too many GET request as shown here . To get around this we would suggest looking into more batch request and other ways to break your request into smaller segmjents that can be done within the limit.
