Hello. I am using the PHP Client library (V8).

Is it possible to retrieve historical data for multiple Keyword Plans (separately) in a single request?

\Google\Ads\GoogleAds\V8\Services\Gapic\KeywordPlanServiceGapicClient::generateHistoricalMetrics only accepts a single plan but I am wondering if I can (or indeed should, for efficiency reasons) wrap multiple classes in something else?

Thanks,

William

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out. The GenerateHistoricalMetricsRequest method can only accept one keyword plan, as you mentioned. This method also is not supported for batch jobs, as the BatchJobService only supports mutate operations (you can see a list of supported batch job operations here).

The planning services and KeywordPlanService metric generation methods are subject to special limits. You can find these here.
