AdWords API Exception handling in Python

[Martin]

Hi,

I am getting the RateExceededError and according to the suggestions I want to catch this exception and respect the 'retryAfterSeconds' attribute.

However I am failing to catch just this particular exception and leaving the rest to be handled with my generic error handler.

I tried to do something like this:

try:

    working_code()

except RateExceededError as Rate_e:

    time.sleep(Rate_e.retryAfterSeconds)

but this does not work.

Is there some Exceptions import I am missing or is there another way of doing it?

Thank you!

Martin

Hello Martin,

It looks like you are excepting a wrong exception class. Let me check with the python library author to confirm.

Hi Martin,

Please see this example as a reference:

try:

  page = campaign_service.get(selector)

except AdWordsGoogleInternalError, e:

  inner_error = e.errors[0]

  if 'RateExceededError.RATE_EXCEEDED' == inner_error.errorString:

    // do something with inner_error.retryAfterSeconds
