Hi, Making a request to the API entails a number of fixed costs, such as round-trip network latency, serialization and deserialization processing, and calls to backend systems. By batching multiple operations, you can reduce the number of requests you make and the associated fixed costs.
Unlike synchronous services, a single job in BatchJobService can operate against a mixed collection of AdWords entities. You can submit jobs in parallel, and BatchJobService automatically retries operations that fail due to transient errors such as RateExceededError <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/common-errors#RateExceededError.RATE_EXCEEDED>. Using BatchJobService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/latest/BatchJobService> also frees up your application to perform other tasks without waiting for the operations to complete. You can poll the status of the BatchJob periodically until it is CANCELED or DONE and then download the results and processingErrors <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/latest/BatchJobService.BatchJob#processingErrors> from its downloadUrl <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/latest/BatchJobService.BatchJob#downloadUrl> . Please see the Best Practices guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/bestpractices> and Batch Processing guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/batch-jobs> for more details.
