update:
x-idempotency:
supported: false
note: The Google Ads API publishes no idempotency key. validateOnly and partialFailure are the substitutes; a retried mutate that already
succeeded creates duplicates.
x-rate-limit-signalling:
headers: false
note: No X-RateLimit-*/RateLimit-* headers. Throttling arrives as a RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error carrying QuotaErrorDetails (rate_scope, rate_name,
retry_delay).
x-error-format:
format: google-ads-failure
rfc9457: false
note: Errors are GoogleAdsFailure with a typed ErrorCode drawn from 156 enum families; see grpc/google-ads-errors.proto.
x-money-encoding:
unit: micros
note: Monetary fields are int64 micros (1,000,000 micros = one currency unit) serialised as strings in the REST transport.
