Hello everyone, I am experimenting with the Adwords API with a test token, using the Python googleads library v201806.
I want to test generating keyword ideas with the TargetingIdeaService and I'm using the example code get_keyword_ideas.py from here: https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords/v201806/optimization/get_keyword_ideas.py (Actually the Python 3 version from here <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/releases>.) I've adapted the code so it queries new keywords for a specific test client account. But the script (usually, not always) fails with the error: GoogleAdsServerFault: [RateExceededError <rateName=RATE_LIMIT, rateKey=null, rateScope=ACCOUNT, retryAfterSeconds=30>] There doesn't seem to be any mention of the rateName "RATE_LIMIT" in the API documentation. I see it has been raised before: here <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adwords-api/0f9W8f38PZk>, here <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adwords-api/MWh0CYAg6IM>and here <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adwords-api/_CIHxx4QnWg> - and as far as I can see no one has come up with an explanation of what it is. Now I know that with a test token, the TargetingIdeaService just gives you back garbage anyway. *Is there also some lower limit that applies to the test token, that means this error will clear up by itself once I'm using a proper developer token?* If not, is there any specific advice of how to deal with it, other than the rate-limiting strategies covered here <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/rate-limits>?
