Re: RateExceededErrors

[Greg Heidel]

Yes, I am setting both paging and numberResults. Paging has a start
index of 0 and the numberResults is 100

getBulkKeywordIdeas doesn't appear to provide any assistance when
using the RelatedToUrlSearchParameter as you can't pass in multiple
URLs so I don't really see the difference when getting keywords by
URL?  Also getBulkKeywordIdeas only returns a limited, fixed set of
values according to the docs.

A single-valued RelatedToUrlSearchParameter must be supplied.

RateExceededErrors

[Greg Heidel]

The number of RateExceededErrors seems to increase over time, even if
I space out my requests. Even increasing the wait time beyond the 30
seconds that is returned in the API call does not seem to help. I even
stopped sending any requests for a couple of days but it seems once an
account starts hitting rate errors the account seems to have very
limited bandwidth without hitting rate errors again. Initially, when
the account was first created, I didn't get any rate errors for a few
hours or maybe even longer. Now even after a couple of days of idle
time, I can't even get through a few minutes without hitting rate
errors. At one point, I could no longer make any successful requests
and I had to create a new account.

Can you give any better explanation as to how this is implemented?

TargetingIdeaService - RateExceeded Errors

[Greg Heidel]

service = TargetingIdeaService
method = get
searchParameter = RelatedToUrlSearchParameter
requestedAttributeTypes = [ 'GLOBAL_MONTHLY_SEARCHES',
'AVERAGE_TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES',
'COMPETITION',
'EXTRACTED_FROM_WEBPAGE',
'KEYWORD',
'KEYWORD_CATEGORY',
'NGRAM_GROUP',
'TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES']
Number of results: 100

I am making the call above and a few weeks ago, I could roughly
process 1700 URLs in an hour, now I can only process about 75 an hour
due to rate exceeded errors that are causing many retries. I am
getting account-level rate exceeded errors. Is there any way to check
who is using the account? I assume it is a corporate account but I am
not aware of anyone else using the account. Is there any way to
monitor the rate so that I don't get the errors and have to wait 30
seconds i.e. adjust the pace of calls so that they succeed?

Thanks!

Re: RateExceededError question.

[Greg Heidel]

I am having the exact same problem however about a week or so ago, I
was able to process around 1700 URLs in an hour, now I can only
process about 75 in an hour? I am getting so many rate limits on the
account that the retries are causing the program to slow to a crawl.
In testing, even running 5 URLs caused 6 retries?

Is this to be expected?

in relevance order but I would appreciate an update on what criteria
is determining relevance, if one is available.
