Managing segmented requests for large accounts - at scale

Hi there.

We have an MCC of hundreds of accounts. Maybe 5% of these accounts are big enough to require multiple calls for something like CampaignCriterionService, as otherwise they give a START_INDEX_TOO_HIGH error at some point. For these accounts, we run campaign by campaign to retrieve the data in segments.

My question is - when running data collection processes across all accounts in the MCC - should we:

1) Run data collection for all clients at a campaign level (drastically increasing the number of calls, but reducing the response size)

2) Set a flag on accounts which give START_INDEX_TOO_HIGH error so that only these are pulled campaign by campaign, and the remainder pulled at account level

Option 1 is a bit easier to implement, but is there a problem with dramatically increasing the number of API calls? Is option 2 preferable for performance of the data collection at scale?

Thanks

Sam
