Is it possible to fetch keyword planner device breakdown data via API?

[Greg B]

Hi,

I need to get a device breakdown data for search volume (I've attached a screenshot from UI) via API call(s).

I've asked an Internet wisdom, studied Adwords documentation but I have no clue if and how to do that. Is that possible? If yes then where should I start?

TIA for any hints,

Greg.

Hi Greg,

Using AdWords API, you can use TargetingIdeaService to retrieve these attributes about a TargetingIdea in an API call. You can also check out TrafficEstimatorService to retrieve traffic estimates for keywords, campaigns etc. Using the platformEstimateRequested field in your selector, you can retrieve a platform level breakdown of campaign level estimates. Unfortunately, there is no way to retrieve the keyword search volume directly based on the device type. Please feel free to revert if you have additional questions.

Hi Vishal,

thank you very much for your reply. I am able to get data from TargetingIdea and I will try the other ones. I was asked if it's possible to fetch device breakdown via API but it looks like it's not possible and it should be done via Adwords UI. 

Regards, 

Greg.
