Research direction

Start by reviewing the request that retrieves ads for a start and stop date and how paging is applied after roughly 32,000 ads. Reproduce the error with the same interval, then consult the Ad Library API request and paging behavior to determine whether smaller date ranges or another query limit are required; done means explaining the limit and a workable retrieval approach.

Description

Hi, I get the following error after getting 32,000 ads:

{'error': {'code': 1,
'message': "Please reduce the amount of data you're asking for, then retry your request"}}

Can you explain what it means and how I can overcome this, as I am trying to gather all ads published within a given time interval of start and stop dates?

It's not clear how I can "cut" my query in chunks since that was what the paging is already supposed to do, right?

Thanks.
