Hi, But if Google knows that the data is complete to schedule your CSV report, I do not see the reason why this can not be also given in the answer to the API's request.
Or they just send the report at +- 4 AM (on that timezone) while hoping that the data is complete?? Can you confirm that the data is completely there? BTW, is that Java parser that crashes with out of memory a DOM-tree or a SAX parser? Anyway, very interesting suggestion, thanks.
