Keyword Planner API not filtering for region specified

[Una]

We have been trying to integrate the Google Ads Keyword Planner API  to create keyword plans () and generate historical metrics (Generate Historical Metrics  |  Google Ads API  |  Google Developers) using the Python code snippets in the documentation mentioned above. The code snippet includes a line which helps specify the region for which the search volume needs to be fetched for (geo_target.geo_target_constant = "geoTargetConstants/2840").

We have referred to the link  https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/data/geotargets to identify the required region code, but despite inputing the correct ID, the response from the API does not show region specific search volume but rather gives only the worldwide search volume numbers.

Any help to get search volume for specific region for the keywords would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Una and Alexey,

@Una
To see if the issue you are encountering is related to the known issue that we are currently checking, could you please provide the complete API request and response logs with request-id and login-customer-id that generated on your end. If you haven't yet, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (ex. Java) > Logging documentation, which you can access from this link. You can provide it via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.

@Alexey
Thank you for adding this to that email thread. However, my team is investigating this issue and we will provide updates as soon as there's a solution.

Best regards,

Jinky Google Ads API Team
