Generate Historical Metrics without a Keyword plan for a particular location / language

[Bruce Axtens]

As one Adil Khaji posted recently in another forum:

We can use the method GenerateKeywordHistoricalMetrics to generate search volume information, even when the keyword plan is not created. 

Refer to the below location for the method details

https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/rest/reference/rest/v10/customers/generateKeywordHistoricalMetrics

But as part of this method in the HistoricalMetricsOptions, we can only pass start and end date, how can we get the search volume for a particular location and language?

We'd like to know that answer to this one too.

Hi Bruce,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API team.

Moving forward, as you mentioned, "We can use the method GenerateKeywordHistoricalMetrics to generate search volume information, even when the keyword plan is not created.", kindly note that you need to create a keyword plan for you to be able to include the language and location.You may follow this guide for more information.
