SearchStream not able to reuse

[cv]

Hi,

I tried to use search stream like this.

Call 1:

foreach ($stream->readAll() as $response) {

foreach ($response->getResults() as $i=> $googleAdsRow) {

}

}

call2:

foreach ($stream->readAll() as $response) {

if ($response->hasSummaryRow()) {

}

}

Once I readAll data in call1, under call2 the stream will not get data.

Any idea why?

Does stream only readable once?

Thanks

Hi,
 

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Support team.
 

With regards to your concern. I would refer you to this documentation Search & SearchStream Both methods support the same queries and return equivalent results.
 

• The search method returns data in customizable page sizes, enabling you to iterate over a result set using pagination.
• The SearchStream method, on the other hand, streams the entire result set back in a single response, which can be more efficient for bulk data retrieval.

However, so that our team can better check on this, could you please provide the complete API logs (request and response with request-id)?
 

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

Hello Darwin,

Thanks for the message. I might have not clarified things properly. There is no issue with calling or response. I have usage question. 

My problem is once you read the stream it will not give data again without calling query again.

$googleAdsServiceClient->searchStream($customerId, $query, $options)

My problem is I need summery row and result set both in different tables. So I am calling searchStream and get the stream response

what I am doing is read the stream first and store the summary row.

when I tried to call same stream again without searchStream call it simply not give result.

So any way I can preserve that stream?
