Listing Accessible Google Ads Accounts for large hierarchies

[Goncalo Pereira]

Hi,

I'm working with the new Google Ads API V10 and using the REST interface.

I currently have the need to list all accessible accounts from a given access token along with some information about them, for example the name of the account.

With the old AdWords API we were able to quickly get some basic information with a few requests, but for the new API (see doc get hierarchy example) we have to (1) list the immediate accounts and (2) get the hierarchy and (3) make a request for for each account individually to obtain that additional information I need.

For small accounts this is not an issue, but for large accounts, let's say 2000 accessible accounts it can take a really long time to list all that are accessible along with that additional information.

I have already parallelised some of these requests since I'm using searchStream method and the requests should be going into different accounts minimising the risk of hitting account rate limits. However, I'm a bit afraid that I might hit some non documented rate limit per second or minute with my developer token even though I should have unlimited operations per day.

Is there an easier way to get basic information for all the hierarchy? Or should I not need to worry about such request limits?

Thanks in advance,

Gonçalo

Hi Goncalo,

If requests are taking too long, you can break up your requests by specifying the manager customer ID parameter for the Get Account Hierarchy example. This way, you won't unnecessarily have to retrieve the entire account hierarchy, and can retrieve a subset. If this field is left blank, then the example will default to accessible accounts of the authenticating user. 

If you have standard access, you won't run into any access based limits with the Search/SearchStream methods. However, the RESOURCE_TEMPORARILY_EXHAUSTED may still occur if requests are being made too frequently (more on this here).
