TargetingIdeaService: How to get keyword search volume and keyword ideas for a specific period?

[jamgr...@gmail.com]

I would like to get daily stats of search volumes for specified keywords. 

I can't find documentation on AWQL in TargetingIdeaService. I belive that the results from the TargetingIdeaService for 

example here: https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords/v201607/optimization/get_keyword_ideas.py 

are for last 12 months.

Is there any way to get search volume and keyword ideas for a specific time period ?

[Vishal Vinayak (Adwords API Team)]

Hi,

That is correct. If you add the attribute TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES in your selector, you would get the targeted monthly searches on the keyword idea for the past 12 months. Unfortunately, there's no way to specify a custom date range. 

Also, I'm afraid TargetingIdeaService supports get operation only i.e. you cannot use the query() method to extract data using AWQL.

Is there any other google API to get search volume for given keyword for a given day ?

[Vishal Vinayak (Adwords API Team)]

Hi,

Since my team specializes in AdWords API related queries, I can confirm that the daily keyword search volume statistics are not available via AdWords API. Unfortunately, I would not be able to able to comment on any other Google APIs.

Ok. Thank you for the information.

When does google update the monthly stats? Will the Monthly data for May be available from 1st June, or is there some delay?

Hi,

Data available through AdWords API cannot be considered real time. Please refer to this guide to determine your data's freshness.

Hi!

Thank you very much! After analysing the guide you provided, I am still not 100% sure:

However, some metrics and reports take longer to process or are only calculated once a day (rather than on a continuous basis). Daily processing of these reports happens in Pacific Time [GMT-8], so you should factor in your time zone when determining when your previous day’s metrics will be ready. For instance, demographic reports for the prior day are created daily at 6 p.m. Pacific Time. If you are located in New York City [GMT-5], you won't see an updated demographic report from January 1 until 9 p.m. on January 2 (since New York is three hours ahead of the Pacific time zone).

From the table I can read that 

Metric/Report	When your data for Tuesday will be ready if you’re in San Francisco (PST).	When your data for Tuesday will be ready if you’re in London (GMT).	When your data for Tuesday will be ready if you’re in Tokyo (JST).
Most metrics, including: clicks, impressions, and conversions	3 a.m. Wed.	3 a.m. Wed.	3 a.m. Wed.
Automatic placements, geographic, and Search terms	6 a.m. Wed.	6 a.m. Wed.	6 a.m. Wed.
Auction insights	10 a.m. Wed.	8 p.m. Wed.	4 a.m. Thurs.
Impression share	1 p.m. Wed.	11 p.m. Wed.	7 a.m. Thurs.
Top movers	6 p.m. Wed.	2 a.m. Thurs.	10 a.m. Thurs.

 

Say we are London based, when will we be able to  fetch TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES for August 2016 ? 

If I understand the guide correctly the stats will be processed on 6 p.m PST 1st September - so it will be available on 2 a.m 2nd September in London time.  

Please correct me if I am wrong. 

Thank you very much for all the previous answers!

Hi,

The chart that I shared is specific to AdWords reports. Monthly stats available via the Keyword Planner or TargetingIdeaService are not the actual figures but are instead averaged out, over the last 12 months. This data should be considered more of a trend line data than actual monthly data points. There's no set date on when the stats for a particular month are available after the month end. 

Hope this helps. Please feel free to revert if you have more questions.

Hi Vishal,

By any chance, is the custom date range filter added to the TargetingIdeaService now?

Hi Hitesh,

I'm afraid, setting of custom date range is still not supported for TargetingIdeaService. I could not tell on if and when the date range feature will be supported in TargetingIdeaService. However, you may follow our blog for any updates on this feature.

Thanks and regards,
