TargetingIdeaService API sort keywords on basis of relevance

[Nitin Aggarwal]

Hi

I am using TargetingIdeaService to get popular keywords, I only need the top 20 most relevant keyword, but i could not find the option to sort by relevance as we have on keyword planner webpage

Hi Nitin, 

While TargetingIdeaService is equivalent to the Keyword Planner in the UI, since it can be configured with more than one different SearchParameter, the returned results may differ significantly when a different SearchParameter is used. I'm afraid you'll have to post process the response to get the most relevant keywords. You can also consider using the Keyword optimizer which shows how to combine the TargetingIdeaService and TrafficEstimatorService to find an optimized set of keywords using an iterative process.

Hi guys,

I wonder if anyone has a better answer.

It seems that TargetingIdeaService provide CPC but not the relevance to the query parameter or parameters.

SEMrush has a "%related score" in their UI but not in their API.
