API v11 new options for customers.generateKeywordHistoricalMetrics does not work

[orkhan.a...@gmail.com]

API v11 seems to support more options like includeAdultKeywords, geoTargetConstants, and keywordPlanNetwork in customers.generateKeywordHistoricalMetrics. While this is really really great, it does not work at all. I'm retrieving data for 'cars' and 'porn' keywords as a test. When no other parameters except 'keywords' is specified, API returns `avgMonthlySearches: '24900000'` for 'cars' keyword and nothing for second keyword which is inline with the default behavior specified in the docs.

I expect that passing `includeAdultKeywords: true` would make the data for the second keyword appear, but it does not.

I expect that passing `geoTargetConstants: ['geoTargetConstants/2031'],` would significantly change the numbers, but API still returns global results.

{

    keywords: ['cars', 'porn'],

    /// none of the following options change the end result.
    //geoTargetConstants: ['geoTargetConstants/2031'],
    //keywordPlanNetwork: 'GOOGLE_SEARCH',
    //language: 'languageConstants/1051',
    //includeAdultKeywords: true,

}

Hello Orkhan,

The bug related to generateKeywordHistoricalMetrics not respecting geolocation filters has been fixed, and the fix has already been released.

You should see your results filtered by geolocation now.

It seems it's not fixed. My example above is still holds true. Maybe it's not deployed yet? Can you send me a working example?

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor]

You are correct, the fix has not been released yet.

It should be released in a matter of a few days, though.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I confirm that it's fixed now. Thank you!
