Hello,
Thanks for reaching out to Google Ads API Support.
With regards to your concern, based on our Blog post KeywordPlanAdGroupForecast and KeywordPlanKeywordForecast will be deprecated in the Google Ads API. This change will be effective on June 1, 2023.
Starting June 1, the GenerateForecastMetricsRequest will still be used to fetch forecasts, but the KeywordPlanAdGroupForecast and KeywordPlanKeywordForecast will be empty. The KeywordPlanCampaignForecast will be returned as usual. If you are using KeywordPlanAdGroupForecast or KeywordPlanKeywordForecast in your applications, update your applications to ensure that they can handle blank responses.
If you have any additional questions, let us know.

Hi Patrick,
Thank you for reaching out to Google Ads API Forum.
As per our Blog post (https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/2023/04/ad-group-and-keyword-forecasts-being.html) KeywordPlanAdGroupForecast and KeywordPlanKeywordForecast will be deprecated in the Google Ads API. This change will be effective on June 1, 2023.
Starting June 1, the GenerateForecastMetricsRequest will still be used to fetch forecasts, but the KeywordPlanAdGroupForecast and KeywordPlanKeywordForecast will be empty. The KeywordPlanCampaignForecast will be returned as usual. If you are using KeywordPlanAdGroupForecast or KeywordPlanKeywordForecast in your applications, update your applications to ensure that they can handle blank responses.
Can you try following this guide (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/keyword-planning/generate-forecast-metrics) regarding Generating Forecast Metrics? Unfortunately there is no code example yet.
Let us know how it goes in your end.

Hi,
Thanks for reaching out to Google Ads API Support.
With regards to your concern, I would suggest you upgrade to the newest version which is the v14, as it added KeywordPlanIdeaService.GenerateKeywordForecastMetrics to replace multiple methods removed in KeywordPlanService. This new method doesn’t require you to create a keyword plan first. You may check this blog post for more information.
