How to get average search volume for a keyword for each month of the year

[Francisco Ferrari]

HI!

I am new to the AdWords API and I am trying to explore its potential for keyword planning.

I would like to know if it is possible to get the average/estimated search volume for a keyword for each month of the year for the last 12 months. (e.g. "keyword1": {"01/2017": 2000, "02/2017": 30000 .....} )

I tried to run this example changing the requestType from 'IDEAS' to 'STATS' but I get the average monthly search volume aggregated for the last 12 months. I saw in the documentation of the API that there is the object MonthlySearchVolume but I am not sure how to use it in the request. I was wondering if using this would resolve my issue.

Thanks in advance for any help any of you can provide!

Hi Francisco,

You can include the TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES attribute in your selector and use the get_keyword_ideas sample by replacing the requestType from IDEAS to STATS. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any additional questions.
