Empty result set from TargetingIdeaService

[tom.wa...@raisingit.com]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use the targeting idea service in Python using a batch of seed keywords.

Sometimes, depending on the seed keywords I use, it simply returns an empty result set - it doesn't throw any errors, there simply are no suggestions.

Can anyone explain this behaviour, and how to avoid it?

So far I have found that randomly changing the seed keywords, e.g. using a subset of the original batch, can trigger a proper response - but I don't see any rhyme or reason...

Cheers,

Tom

P.S. in case it's not clear, I'm trying to use the service to generate keyword suggestions (I'm not interested in traffic stats, although I try to pull them as well)
