URL Fetch Limits

[Dom Josef]

Hi Adwords Script Team,

what are the limits for a url fetch per account per day? Or are the limits on campaign level? Or MCC-Level?

"Service invoked too many times for one day: urlfetch."

Thanks.

Hi Dom,

The UrlFetch limits are inherited from Google Apps Script:

https://docs.google.com/a/macros/google.com/dashboard (click on "Quota Limits" tab and scroll down to UrlFetch)

The current limit is 20,000 / day and 50mB / day. These limits are per user. This means if you run/schedule several scripts to run during a day (and each execution makes a lot of fetches), you may run into this limit.

Alexander, you said that "these limits are per user", is this MCC-level user? Or the user owning the AdWords account?

Or is it the user that've authorized the script to run ?

Thanks,

Niklas

Niklas, by user I mean the person (i.e. email address) who has either run the script manually or scheduled the script. So if you run scripts on different AdWords accounts, but use the same email address to log into them, you will hit the limit if those scripts make more than 20,000 fetches total (per day). If you find yourself frequently running into these limits, you will want to schedule the scripts with different email addresses.

Cheers,

Alex

Thanks for clarifying that.
