Retrieving Keyword Stats

[deberly]

Hello,

We have been gathering historical keyword statistics through the TargetingIdeaService in the AdWords API, but one limitation is that we cannot break this data down by platform (i.e Mobile/Desktop/Tablet).

Is there any way to gather keyword statistics by platform through either the Google Ads or AdWords API?

The service that I have found that is closest to what we are looking for is the TrafficEstimatorService, which does give a breakdown by Desktop/Mobile/Tablet. However, the results from this service are a forecast, not historical statistics, and it is not quite sufficient for the data we are trying to gather.

Thanks!

Hi,

The TargetingIdeaService mimics the Keyword Planner of the Google Ads UI. In addition, it focuses on keyword criterion ideas and stats. Retrieving data associated to platform criterion is unfortunately not available using this service.

To learn more on what is available, you may refer to our targeting ideas guide. I hope this helps.

However, let me raise a feature request to my team for this, which is subject for review. Please follow our blog to receive updates and new releases.
