Hi,
I'm using Estimate Keyword Traffic example code and active MCC account (not test account) and results are always zero.
I've read other posts but no help from there.
Keyword planner tool (Get click and cost performance forecasts) gives results for the same keyword and the test account to.
No errors returned. Google AdWords API v201509 use.

Hi,

The TrafficEstimatorService should be used from a client account level. It will give you traffic estimates of proposed campaigns, ad groups and keywords.

Hi,
i'm using client level account. I have 2 clients under MCC account.
"active MCC account" - I meant that the Adwords developer token is approved.

One client displays message "Your account isn't active - To activate your account and start running your ads, enter your billing information.".
Whether this might be the reason why API returns always zero?

Hello,

Thanks for the clarification. Could you please send me your SOAP request and response where you are getting these results via Reply privately to author?

Thanks,

Hi,

I think the reason you are not getting any data returned is because the max CPC and daily budget values you are using are too small. Please keep in mind that Money in AdWords API is returned in micro units. 

Try to send the request using valid values and let me know if that changed anything.

Cheers,
