# Good to know about LY Ads Search Ads

This article gives you tips for building queries and reports that return the data you need, including how the API of this data source handles certain fields and metrics.

If you’re connecting to LY Ads Search Ads, follow the instructions in our [connection guide](/v1/docs/ly-ads-search-ads-connection-guide). See [LY Ads Search Ads metrics and dimensions](/v1/docs/ly-ads-search-ads-fields) for the fields available in this data source.

## Request limits and recommended refresh window

**Request limit**: 5 requests per second

**Recommended refresh window**: 5 days

## Historical range

With the LY Ads Search Ads data source connector, the data is available for the last 37 months.

## Accounts in LY Ads Search Ads

In the LY Ads Search Ads connector, each Ad account is considered a separate account within the connection.

Your Supermetrics subscription determines how many [data source accounts](https://docs.supermetrics.com/docs/about-data-source-accounts) you can use simultaneously.

A maximum of 200 accounts can be returned.

## Things to consider

### Supported report

At the moment, Supermetrics only supports the Search Ads Campaign Report. There are other report types that might be added later, such as Account, Ad, Ad group, Bid, Feed Item, and Landing page URL.

### Impression shares

We don’t support impression share-related fields since we don’t have source fields to do the calculations on our end.

### Field incompatibilities

The following fields are incompatible with each other:

| Field name | Incompatible fields |
