[amit kohli]

Hi Team,

 We are new to google api landscape, However one of our customer using google api in their application and below is its URL.

 https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/o/v201809/TargetingIdeaService

 While calling above API we are getting error - The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found, seems above URL/service is moved or deprecated.

 So please suggest what is alternate URL/service which help us to achieve same which TargetingIdeaService is achieving.

 Thanks in advance.

 Thanks,

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to us.

To better understand your concerns, could you please provide us with the latest complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) and uncropped UI screenshots to further investigate this issue. 

If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.

In order to investigate the issue further, please provide us with the earlier requested complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated at your end so that we can assist you better.

If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.

You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Kindly note that, the service TargetingIdeaService in the Google Adwords API was switched to KeywordPlanIdeaService in Google Ads API. By Using the KeywordPlanIdeaService, you can search for new keywords that are relevant to your Google Search campaign, or find historical metrics on keywords. I would recommend you check this guide regarding the Keyword Ideas  for more information.
