A value of -1 is returned when there is either not enough data to
generate a reliable search volume estimate or a problem contacting the
backend service that provides search volume estimates. If you're
performing a getKeywordVariations() call with a narrow scope of
language or countries then it's more likely that there wouldn't be
enough data to generate a reliable search volume estimate.
If you believe you're getting -1 returned as the last month's search
volume erroneously, could you please provide information about the
SOAP request and response that you're sending and receiving? Either a
copy of the full SOAP request and response, or just the value of the
requestId header from the SOAP response message would be fine.

Thank you for your reply, but I believe the reason is not the enough
data, because keywords like "psp" or "wii" had -1 search volume, and
if i refresh the page and retry the call it gets a correct value, but
other keywords got -1 value.

I'm in touch with the core engineering team, and they're
investigating whether there are any issues that might cause a failure
to retrieve lastMonthSearchVolume information.

Fresh search volume data is currently being pushed out and replicated
globally, and the engineering team believes that the sporadic -1
results you were seeing is a side-effect of that process. Once it is
complete there should be up to date data available globally. They
mentioned that you should check again on Monday to confirm this.
