[stela zh]

here is my code : 

if (empty($keywords)) {
    // Only page URL was specified, so use a UrlSeed.
    $requestOptionalArgs['urlSeed'] =
        new UrlSeed(['url' => new StringValue(['value' => $link_platform_product_page])]);
} elseif (is_null($link_platform_product_page)) {
    // Only keywords were specified, so use a KeywordSeed.
    $requestOptionalArgs['keywordSeed'] = new KeywordSeed([
        'keywords' => array_map(function ($keyword) {
            return new StringValue(['value' => $keyword]);
        }, $keywords)
    ]);
} else {
    // Both page URL and keywords were specified, so use a KeywordAndUrlSeed.
    $requestOptionalArgs['keywordAndUrlSeed'] = new KeywordAndUrlSeed([
        'url' => new StringValue(['value' => $link_platform_product_page]),
        'keywords' => array_map(function ($keyword) {
            return new StringValue(['value' => $keyword]);
        }, $keywords)
    ]);
}

// Create a list of geo target constants based on the resource name of specified location
// IDs.
$geoTargetConstants = array_map(function ($locationId) {
    return new StringValue(
        ['value' => ResourceNames::forGeoTargetConstant($locationId)]
    );
}, $locationIds);

// Generate keyword ideas based on the specified parameters.
$response = $keywordPlanIdeaServiceClient->generateKeywordIdeas(
    $customerId,
    // Set the language resource using the provided language ID.
    new StringValue(['value' => ResourceNames::forLanguageConstant($language)]),
    // Add the resource name of each location ID to the request.
    $geoTargetConstants,
    // Set the network. To restrict to only Google Search, change the parameter below to
    // KeywordPlanNetwork::GOOGLE_SEARCH.
    KeywordPlanNetwork::GOOGLE_SEARCH_AND_PARTNERS,
    $requestOptionalArgs
);

$keywords = "";
$avgmonthly = "";
$i = 0;

// Iterate over the results and print its detail.
foreach ($response->getResults() as $result) {
    if ($result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()) {

        $competitor = $result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()->getCompetition();
        $avgmonthly = $result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()->getAvgMonthlySearches()->getValue();

       
        if ($competitor == 4 && $avgmonthly > 100) {
            // echo str_word_count($words);
            $keywords .= $result->getText()->getValue() . ",";

            if ($i++ == $limit) break;
            
            printf(
                "Keyword idea text '%s' has %d average monthly searches and competition as %d.%s",
                $result->getText()->getValue(),
                is_null($result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()) ?
                    0 : $result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()->getAvgMonthlySearches()->getValue(),
                is_null($result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()) ?
                    0 : $result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()->getCompetition(),
                PHP_EOL
            );
        }

 }
}
return $keywords;


how to add    $competitor = $result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()->getCompetition();
        $avgmonthly = $result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()->getAvgMonthlySearches()->getValue();  before foreach as paramether so to not generate all the keywords and to filter them but to generated only keywords i need.

Hi Stela,

Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to filter by the metrics before you grab the responses. You will have to filter the responses as you are doing.
