Severe rate limiting when running TargetingIdeaService

[goog...@xsarus.nl]

Hello,

I am running a get request for the TargetingIdeaService. The script runs fine except for one issue - I can't seem to get the script to complete more than once a day. I'm getting the following error after running the script only a couple of times:

Sometimes it runs and gives me a page of results. but i cannot seem to get it working for multiple requests per day. After one request i have to wait more than 24 hours. 

[RateExceededError <rateName=RATE_LIMIT, rateKey=null, rateScope=ACCOUNT, retryAfterSeconds=30>]

My understanding from the rate sheet (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/ratesheet) is that I should be able to run 10,000 operations per day. I should be running 2 or more get requests.

Any assistance as to why this error is throwing would be greatly helpful. 

I have basic access to the api.

Hi,

You may note that the TargetingIdeaService is a more expensive service to call as compared to the other services of the AdWords API. Regardless of your access level, the rate limits for this service are significantly more strict than for other services that can be used for managing campaigns. The rate limits can vary based on time of day, overall volume of API usage by all users, and other factors. Our team does not publish specific allowable QPS numbers to allow for this variance, and instead, use rate limit errors and require that integrations against the API adhere to the timeouts as they encounter rate limit errors.

Hope this clarifies your concern.

Thanks and regards,

Luis
