UserDataService Upload limits

[seba...@movio.co]

Hi,

I'm trying to upload user data as fast as possible via https://googleads.googleapis.com/google.ads.googleads.v8.services.UserDataService/UploadUserData. In the past 100 members per request worked. 

Now,  I'm getting:

"Maximum number of user identifiers allowed for each request is 100 and for each operation is 20"

Does that mean I have to set 5 create operations with 20 members each? Does that make sense?

Cheers,

Sebastian

Hello Sebastian,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API support. The UserData Enforcement in Google Ads API blog post was released on October 15th to clarify that each set should represent a single user. We suggest you upgrade to standard access to handle the amount of data you need. Feel free to get back to us.

Best regards,

Hi,

I have a few questions related to the same endpoint.

1) In the response, we only get the upload_date_time and the received operations. I'm assuming this synchronous call and since there is no success message in the response, does that mean the users were uploaded to the user list successfully?

2) Can we make concurrent UploadUserData requests for the same UserList?

Thanks,

Hello Vamshi,

Thanks for getting back to us.

Please see our responses to your questions below:

1) In the response, we only get the upload_date_time and the received operations. I'm assuming this synchronous call and since there is no success message in the response, does that mean the users were uploaded to the user list successfully? Yes, the number of request operations should match on the operations received by the API.

2) Can we make concurrent UploadUserData requests for the same UserList? As per this guide, a Google Ads object cannot be modified concurrently by more than one source. This could cause errors to arise if you have multiple users updating the same object with your app, or if you're mutating Google Ads objects in parallel using multiple threads.

Hi Jakeia,

Thanks for your response. I tried to upload only one user identifier per create operation but then I can only use 10 create operations per request otherwise I get a "Too many operations" error. This is way too slow to upload a user list of millions of hashed emails. So it's actually faster to use one create operation with 20 identifiers than 10 operations with only one identifier but still too slow.

Is there any other way to efficiently upload an audience? Facebook allows 10,000 hashed emails per request, TikTok 50 Mb (~ 800,000) of hashed emails and Snapchat 50,000 users and Twitter 60,000.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your response. I'm assuming the limits associated with the UploadUserData endpoint are subject to operation limits associated with the developer token. So, does having Standard Access mean we can call this endpoint an unlimited amount of times (for example 100 million times a day)?

Thanks,
Vamshi

Hi Vamshi,

I work with Mark and will assist you.  Having Standard Access mean you can call this endpoint an unlimited amount of times only subject to rate limits when server load is high, but you may want to try out our  OfflineUserDataJobService instead for huge uploads of userdata. Here's our Customer Match guide.
