TargetingIdeaService (STATS) Results Less Than Input

[Charles Michael]

I'm building my code based on the recent Perl implementation of AdwordsAPI 201601 and I'm noticing that output returned by TargetingIdeaService (<requestType>STATS</requestType>) doesn't match the input count. All keywords have active search volumes via the web UI (KeywordPlanner), but the TargetingIdeaService seems to not be returning all results for my keywords. I have enabled IncludeAdultContentSearchParameter even though this hasn't helped as the keywords through the KeywordPlanner on the webUI are not flagged as adult to begin with. A small example I'm trying to diagnose involves these keywords:
d4 dwing
d4 swig
d4 swimg
d4 swin

I always only get results back for just "d4 swin", the other 3 keywords never get returned. Any suggestions on why the API isn't returning the full keyword set I'm submitting?

Hello again, I was able to resolve this on my own. For those experiencing similar issues, I had 2 errors. First I was not reading my input as UTF-8, which evidently is necessary (I knew the results were returned in UTF-8, but apparently I have to submit it as well in this encoding). Second, I had the language flag set to english (the default setting which was provided in the example scripts for optimizations) which seemed logical, but when I disabled it, all the results I sent came through. Even though the keywords were english, disabling the language made the difference.
