discrepancy between Keyword Planner UI and api:generateForecastMetrics

[Steve Wilcox]

For some reason, when I run generateForecastMetrics, I get pretty radically different results from the keyword planner UI

  

      "campaignForecast": {

        "impressions": 17.875293731689453,

        "ctr": 0.01632027141749859,

        "averageCpc": "1154007",

        "clicks": 0.2917296588420868,

        "costMicros": "336658"

      },   

  

  vs

  Looks like the question has been asked before but never got a response:

Ernie,

I cannot reply to author.  It says I do not have permission.  I will email the requested information to the API team as I have done before.

Hi Steve,

I see you have created a private thread on the same subject. We can continue troubleshooting from there and cease communication on this thread.
