In teh online keyword suggestion tool https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
I see a new 'Global Monthly Search Volume' column that replaces the
Average Monthly Search Volume' column.
The new one is the total worldwide search volume and not the locally
and language targeted one a sthe old one was.

How is this implemented in the Adwords API?

And can we now also get Search Volumes for excact matches?

Hello,

I believe that the avgSearchVolume field in the KeywordVariation
object returned from a getKeywordVariations() call already (usually)
corresponds to the "Global Monthly Search Volume" column in the
KeywordToolExternal web app. The lastMonthSearchVolume field is the
equivalent of the "Local Search Volume: Month" column. Running a few
queries from the API and the web tool with the exact same parameters
bears this out.

If you're seeing significantly different results with the same
keywords and all other settings, let us know.

Cheers,

Thanks for your reply, we test it.
The only thing is that the 'lastMonthSearchVolume' and
'avgSearchVolume' data does not differentiate for broad or exact match
keywords.

Hello,

Changing the match type in your API requests will not change the
search volume information you get back from the API. Please see

for a complete explanation.

I need this asap, as well. Why would you not be able to check the
match types, whats the reasoning?

Hello,

In general, you won't see any new features added to the AdWords API
v13 that require changes to the underlying WSDLs. Changing a method to
support additional parameters falls into that category.

This is on the list of requested features for the equivalent to the
KeywordToolService in the AdWords API v200902, but that's obviously
not available yet. I cannot make any assurances about whether an
unreleased service will or will not support certain functionality, but
to reiterate, the requests have been noted.

Cheers,
-Jeff Posnick, AdWords API Team
