Hi team,

I am GCP customer engineer aligned with account - Brand Networks.

They have been trying to figure out how to increase their Google Ads API quota to 200. 
Details refer to case # 25002449. and attached gif.

Appreciate for anyone who has been working on this, as we are engaging brand networks for a GCP deal,  I just want to check in on behalf of the customer to get some insight on this ask. 

Thank you!
sincerely,
Julie

Hello,

The Google Ads API doesn't use the quotas listed in that page. Generally you'd find your way here if you are trying to use "get" requests in the API. However, that is not the intended way to retrieve information from the API. You should instead use the GoogleAdsService.Search or GoogleAdsService.SearchStream requests (see: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v5/GoogleAdsService#search).

There is no way to increase the limit for "get" requests. Search and SearchStream have rate limits but they are high enough for production usage.

Regards,
Mike, Google Ads API Team

Appreciate it Mike and team for the insight, the customer - Brand Networks said that was the exact type of answer they have been looking for !

They also sent over below, to identify the code that documented on our site that puts them against the limit, they want to provide this as a feedback to the documentation. 


string[] customerResourceNames = customerServiceClient.ListAccessibleCustomers();

foreach (string customerResourceName in customerResourceNames)
{
Customer customer = customerServiceClient.GetCustomer(customerResourceName);
Console.WriteLine(customer.Id);
seedCustomerIds
.Add(customer.Id);
}

"Since the rate limit for Gets is only 30/minute if you have an account with more than 30 accessible clients (which is not hard to do with customer hierarchies) you hit the limit every time.  We're going to change this over to use a search to get the fields we need, but maybe you can give some feedback to the documentation team."


Thank you!
sincerely,
Julie

Same issue here, we run into the same problem with the 1,000 Get requests per day limit. The code actually can be optimized not to use Get, would be great if the documentation team would improve the code samples.
