Questions about the new Google Ads API

[Jarkko Niemelä]

Hi all

Could someone help with couple of questions about the new Ads API before I consider taking it to use

Is it now possible to get historical keyword data for a set of keywords using the new API ?

Is the data granularity still set to 1 month ?

How far into past can you query ?

Thank you in advance

Hi Jarkko,

Thank you for reaching out. You can generate historical keyword metrics by following this guide. It will return monthly results for the last 12 months.

Hi,

Just to confirm that the data is available on a monthly basis and not as an average of last 12 months ?

We tried to pull data from historical keyword metrics but we got average values for 12 months.

Best regards,

Hi Jarkko,

The historical data is available as an average of the last 12 months as shown here.

Hi,

Thank you for the confirmation. Is there currently any way to get monthly search volumes using the API ?

Best regards,

Hi Jarkko,

That feature is not currently supported. I have created a feature request on your behalf so please keep an eye on our Developer Blog for information on future releases.

Hi Hoang,

Thank you for reaching out. You could query the monthly_search_volumes[] to fetch the search volumes for the past 12 months.

Thanks and regards,
