Google Ads API: how to use paging (page_token / next_page_token) - Python

[Mat]

Hi,

In the examples you provide e.g. here:

https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/samples/get-keywords#python

... you use "page_size=page_size" but unlike the examples in the AdWords API, the examples in the Google Ads API are lacking the actual paging.

You state "To retrieve the next one thousand rows, simply send the request again, but update the request's page_token to the response's next_page_token."

https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/concepts/retrieving-objects#paging_through_results

... but you don't specify how to get the "next_page_token".

So: Could you please provide an example in Python on how to use paging through large search responses.

Regards

Mat

Hi,

May be this PHP issue tracker may help.

Thanks,

Hi cv,

yes, that's what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, I'm not able to translate the php-code provided there to work with the python library.

Any help on that?

If you're using the Python client library, the requests automatically sends another request if there was a next page token detected.

Which threw me off at first because I was trying to search for the token and submit the additional requests on my own.

Hello Mat,

Thank you for the additional input. Pagination is handled automatically by the response iterator. Please check this related issue on the issue tracker as a reference.

Please consider amending the guide on this point.
