Hello,

after moving from old API v201809 to new google ads API v9 I recognized that modifying AdParameters is much slower than before. While having a average response time of 3 seconds for 2000 updates with the old API, the new API takes about 120 seconds for
updating 2000 AdParameters.

Here are 3 example request-ids:

nYiygSuLnmcakdZ2cHvr-g (took 94s)
-yk2zRe0TsTWi4w7H_CGgA (took 140s)
xgIl3iHByksKzazj3HvwCQ (took 119s)

Are you aware that responses are slower by a factor of 40 for AdParameter requests and can you please fix it?

Thanks,

Christian

Hi Christian,

Thank you for reporting this. Could you provide us with logs of request and response to the API's so that we can see the time differential between the API's that you are seeing when mutating an AdParameter? 

In the Ads API, the request and response appears similar to the JSON Mappings in our REST documentation with additional information such as  request ID. Our client libraries have loggers with logging instructions, to see these instructions you can click on the client library you use in the sidebar of our client library guide and click on "Logging”.

In the AdWords API , a request looks like the 3rd section in request and a response looks similar to response. Logging instructions are in the read.me on Github of each client library.

The requested log can be generated when the log level is set to 'DEBUG'.
