TargetIdeaService get() RateExceededError

[Sally CHEN]

Hi,

I am using TargetIdeaService.get  to generate new keywords, and make 5 requests for 5 ad groups in parallel using same refresh Token. Any suggestions for me to avoid the RateExceededError, since the target Idea API is different from other downloading report APIs. For TargetingIdeaService, it does not depend on my usage alone, but on the usage of all users on a certain time of the day, and other factors.  I would like to use batch jobs but unfortunately, BatchJobService doesn't support TargetindIdeaService.get operation and only supports these mutate operations(https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/batch-jobs#supported_operations).

Best Regards,

Sally

Hi Sally,

Currently, there is no definite way in order to avoid getting any RateExceededErrors when using the TargetingIdeaService since the said error would depend on the overall traffic of that service. What we can recommend as of now is to handle the error and retry your request as stated in this guide.

As for the BatchJobService, this service usually support requests that involves mutate operations, meaning it could only currently accommodate requests that either add, update, or remove objects in bulk. The TargetingIdeaService, being that it is a service that specializes in generating suggestions, is currently not supported due to its difference in its purpose and usage.

Thanks and regards,

Peter
