I am using TargetingIdeaService to get keyword ideas. Specifically, I use RelatedToQuerySearchParameter (RTQSP) option to provide keyword seed. The output looks almost exactly like in a new version of the Keyword Planer (list of loosely related phrases), except the keyword I put into RTQSP is not listed there, even though it appears in the web version (has non-zero average monthly search). I am not sure if this API call simulates the new version of the Keyword Planer. If not, how can I achieve that?
I have Basic token access and I use Python client. Also, my language is polish and localization: Poland.

Hello, 

The API results should be similar to the functions under "Find new keywords and get search volume data" in the keyword planner UI. However, it is not guaranteed that the results in the API will be an exact match of the results in the UI. To take a closer look, could you share your SOAP request and response along with your CID? Please note that when using test accounts, the TargetingIdeaService will return dummy data. Hence, you need to be making the calls against a production account to test this. Please use reply privately to author while sharing the details. 

Thanks,
