Hi all, I'm building a Rails app that takes advantage of the get_keyword_ideas method (https://code.google.com/p/google-api-ads-ruby/source/browse/adwords_api/examples/v201306/optimization/get_keyword_ideas.rb) built into the adwords_api Ruby gem.
I'm currently working through a test account, and I've hit a roadblock: if I submit even a single request through the method as I've set it up, I get a RateExceededError: [RateExceededError <rateName=RequestsPerMinute, rateKey=new_qps, rateScope=ACCOUNT, retryAfterSeconds=30>] As you can probably guess, waiting 30 seconds and retrying doesn't do anything. I suspect that the size of my request is somehow offending the rate limit, but I'm not sure how to impose a limit on it (or if that's even the problem). For what it's worth, here's the method I'm calling: def get_keyword_ideas(keyword_text) targeting_idea_srv = create_adwords_api.service(:TargetingIdeaService, get_api_version) selector = { :idea_type => 'KEYWORD', :request_type => 'IDEAS', :requested_attribute_types => ['KEYWORD_TEXT', 'SEARCH_VOLUME', 'CATEGORY_PRODUCTS_AND_SERVICES'], :search_parameters => [ { :xsi_type => 'RelatedToQuerySearchParameter', :queries => [keyword_text] }, { :xsi_type => 'LanguageSearchParameter', :languages => [{:id => 1000}] } ], :paging => { :start_index => 0, # my attempt to limit size of the request as much as possible: :number_results => 1 } } offset = 0 results = [] begin page = targeting_idea_srv.get(selector) results += page[:entries] if page and page[:entries] offset += PAGE_SIZE selector[:paging][:start_index] = offset end while offset < page[:total_num_entries] results.each do |result| data = result[:data] keyword = data['KEYWORD_TEXT'][:value] puts "Found keyword with text '%s'" % keyword products_and_services = data['CATEGORY_PRODUCTS_AND_SERVICES'][:value] if products_and_services puts "\tWith Products and Services categories: [%s]" % products_and_services.join(', ') end average_monthly_searches = data['SEARCH_VOLUME'][:value] if average_monthly_searches puts "\tand average monthly search volume: %d" % average_monthly_searches end end puts "Total keywords related to '%s': %d." % [keyword_text, results.length] end In my campaigns_controller file, I'm attempting to call the message as simply as possible: def keywords render :text => get_keyword_ideas("whiskey") end Any help is sincerely appreciated. -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
