Google Ads API and Latency

[Richard Cutting]

Hi,

We are quite heavy users of the Google Ads API (mainly search and search_stream) and are starting to see more and more latency issues when retrieving even small amounts of data. 

Can anyone give me any insight into how the latency of API responses is decided ? We're not busting any quotas and we try to spread out our requests.  If we knew for example fetch x bytes of data within a n minute period and latency will start to be applied we could adjust our services accordingly.

Thanks,

Richard.

Hi Richard,

Thank you for raising this concern to the Google Ads API Forum.

With regard to your question, I am afraid that we do not have visibility or documentation on factors affecting latency. However, so we can investigate and raise the issue to the rest of my team we will be needing the complete API logs within the format of request and response logs with the request-id that generated on your end also where we can see the small requests that encountered issues latency. This information will help our team to further investigate the said issue. If you haven't yet, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (ex. Java) > Logging documentation, which you can access from this link.

For privacy purposes, you can provide it via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.

Best regards,
