Hi Chriss,

You can track keyword performance using the Keywords Performance Report. Here are the Java examples for running reports with and without using AWQL. If Java isn't your language of choice, you can find similar examples in all of our other client libraries.

You can set up ad groups using the AdGroupService, and can set up keywords (which are a type of criteria) on an ad group level using the AdGroupCriterionService.

Hopefully this answers your questions. Let me know if I can help you further.

Thanks,
Mike, AdWords API Advisor

Hi Michael,

Does the Keyword Performance Report give you data for keywords that are not yet in a campaign?

If not, do you know how to get data for keywords you don't yet want to add to a campaign?

Best wishes,


James

Hi James,

The Keyword Performance Report can only give statistics on keywords that actually have statistics to show.

If you want information on what keywords are set up for a Campaign or AdGroup, you need to look at the relevant Criterion service (linked).

I'm not sure what you mean about "keywords you don't yet want to add to a campaign". Do you mean general performance of said keywords, not associated with your account? If so, I don't believe such an option exists.

Thanks,

I'd like to use Google KW Planner API to get stats on KW. Can you please direct me to the relevant link where I can get all the info on what API calls are available/Cost/Limitations (number allowed queries a day) and etc'...

Hello Ayala,

Please see our guides on Estimating Traffic and Generating Targeting Ideas for information on how to use the API's versions of the keyword planner.

Please see our rate sheet for information on Basic vs. Standard API access, which outlines costs/limitations/etc.
