Targeting Idea Service STATS Operations Count

[Ryan]

Hi all,

The Rate Limit documentation shows up to 10,000 "operations" per day for a get request to the TargetingIdeaService.

Operation: get
Count: 100 targeting ideas
Service: TargetingIdeaService

Operations counted towards Daily Limit: 1

If we insert an array of 500 queries in a single get request using STATS rather than IDEAS, would that be five operations or one operation as we would be receiving 500 results with no additional targeting ideas being returned.

Regards,

Ryan

Hello Ryan,

If you are trying to query 500 keywords in a single get request, it would be considered as one operation. If you're trying to request 500 keywords in batches of 100, it would be counted to 5 operations. You can get the number of operations performed in a request by logging the operations header in the response. Please note that you will be able to request maximum of 700 keywords per one stats request.  You may refer to the Batch Targeting Ideas and Targeting Idea specific limits guide for more information.

Thanks,
