rateScope

[de...@ubc-corp.com]

Hello.

I'm reading this page - https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/rate-limits

I have an application with basic access.

 

Other users give access to my application to their Google AdWords Account.

My app loads ready-made ad campaigns to other users.

My Question:

Whose operations are spent when my application adds advertising campaigns to the Google AdWords account that belongs to my client? ACCOUNT or DEVELOPER ?

Hello, 

The rate limits are calculated based on the API calls made with the associated Developer token. If the operations using the developer token exceeds a certain limit, then the RateExceededError is triggered with the rateScope as DEVELOPER. The operation will be considered in the ACCOUNT level rate limit for the client account, as that is the combined QPS at the account level. If the manager account is managing several accounts, of which multiple client accounts are using the same developer token making several requests, all these requests are calculated against the daily quota limit. A get operation is counted as one operation, regardless of the number of results objects and for a mutate operation, each mutated item counts as one operation. You may refer to the rate sheet document on how the API requests are calculated towards to the daily limit.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Hello

I did not understand anything, unfortunately. :(

Answer my question, please: Yes or no.

I use my developer token for queries. (DEVELOPER)

My app adds ad campaigns to an absolutely third-party Google AdWords Account. The Google AdWords Account, which granted access to my application. 

As far as I understand, all operations are performed at the expense of an absolutely third-party Google AdWords Account. (ACCOUNT)

Is it true that in this case, all transactions are performed at the expense of absolutely third-party Google AdWords Account? ACCOUNT level ? Yes or No ?

Regards, Andrii

Hello, 

There are various kinds of rate limits in AdWords API. The operational limit is based on the access level of the developer token, and doesn't fluctuate.The number of operations performed using your developer token will be counted towards the daily quota associated with your developer token. 

Other than the operational limit, all other rate limits may fluctuate. If an application makes a high number of requests per second on a single AdWords account, the AdWords API Server may return a RateExceededError for exceeding rate limit within the Account scope. Rate limit across Account rate scope is metered on all requests to a single AdWords account - no matter which developer token was used to make the request. This rate limit can fluctuate based on different variables, including server load.

Hello.

Okay. I think I'm starting to understand. However, please clarify.

I have basic access. My limit is 10,000 operations a day.

Every day I plan to add one unique advertising campaign to 100,000 different Google AdWords Accounts.

I can not do it ? Because I will exceed my limit?

Regards,

Andrii

Hello Andrii,

That's right. For a mutate operation, each mutated item counts as one operation towards the daily limit. You may refer to the rate sheet document for more information. The Basic access developer token allows you to execute 10,000 operations per day and download up to 1000 reports. If your use case requires to execute more operations, you can apply for Standard access. The Standard access developer token allows you to execute unlimited operations and report downloads per day. You can apply for Standard access by submitting this form. Once you submit the Standard access application form, the AdWords API Compliance team will respond with an answer within a business day. 

Thanks,

Bharani, AdWords API Team
