Use TargetingIdeaService to get monthly search volume for more then 12 months?

[Patrick van Zadel]

I've been going through the documentation for a new project we are considering in our internal SEA strategy and I was wondering about something.

Now our SEA people use the Google Keyword Planner to get some insights into Keywords, it's volume and their respective competition but also Ideas for Keywords.

The Keyword Planner is fine but some of our people have asked if there were possibilities to their workflow.

I am currently researching our possibilities and was wondering:

"Is it possible to get more then 12 months of monthly volume data using the TargetingIdeaService?" cause our people sometime or maybe most of the times try and get data till 2 and 3 years back

The documentation currently states it grabs the data for 12 months back from the previous month (since the current month is still running)

I was looking at things like the MonthlySearchVolume (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201702/TargetingIdeaService.MonthlySearchVolume)

where I can set the year field to something like 2013? and get the 12 months from 2013? 

Is this even a possibility?

Many thanks!
