Definition of a Operation specifics

[wei lai]

Documentation stated an operation can be a Get or a Mutate. We are no doing any Mutates. We are pulling metrics from all our accounts. We have to Get data from 300 CIDs to pull data.

Is this one Get operation or is it 300 Get operations?

We are populating a data table and recording all of our Google metrics.

Hi Wei,

Unfortunately, when working with multiple client accounts, you would need to send a request for each account individually. Therefore, to fetch data from an AdWords account, you would need to send a new GET request for that account. You can do so either by changing the clientCustomerId in your properties file (if you use a properties file to create an AdWords session) or updating the variable value (in case you create an AdWords session directly from associative properties, as shown in this example). To understand what counts as an operation, please refer to this document.

That is fine that we need to count each Operation if it goes to a different CID. Does that mean, irrelevant of the GET  each CID causes a new Operation?

Hi Wei,

That is correct. Results from multiple clients can only be fetched via a new GET operation for each client. You may also consider applying for Standard Access, which enables you to perform unlimited number of operations.
