Hi Cameron,
I've raised exactly this issue with the API team before - sometimes I get
rate limited before I get *any* results. The only workaround I've found is,
as the team have suggested here, by adding error handling logic to wait 30
seconds before retrying and just keep on hitting the API until it gives a
result. Given these errors are thrown so quickly on small test runs, it
doesn't inspire confidence that the API will behave robustly when used in
production. I think this isn't an issue for Google's support team, it needs
to be escalated to their product team, to provide an API endpoint that's
fit for purpose.
Cheers,
Tom
