Hi,

I have an array of hashes with keywords. I'm trying to get the historical metrics on those keywords.

All is great, until I parse the result of GenerateHistoricalMetrics.

The search_query string is sometimes modified by the API even though I specify the match_type as being EXACT.

Once the string is modified, I don't have any way to link that string to one of the keywords in my original array of hashes.

There is no idea that I can pass along to rematch the results. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

Hello Mehdi,

Could you please give me an example of what you saying when "The search_query string is sometimes modified by the API"? Please share any logs or results for further reference using reply privately to the author option.
