NEW! OK, so yesterday (28/04/09) Half of my adgroups went in, the other half timed out. Then, I reran in the failed half and they went in fine. Could it be that Google is blocking me after a certain number of calls in a specific timescale? If so, this must be a new limit because as of 3 weeks ago the numbers I was pushing in were higher - but I had, maybe, 1 timeout per push.
Is there a new hit limit on the API? Phil. On Apr 23, 9:57 am, Phil <5000...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hi Jeff, > Thank you for the links.
