Is it possible to set the Date Range and Compare Periods using TargetingIdeaService?

Hello, 

I'm using TargetingIdeaService to get search volume data and trends for a particular keyword. Is it possible to set the Date Range (minimum and maximum) for Average Monthly Searches like I can in the Keyword Planner?

Also, is it possible to compare with other periods (Previous period, Same period last year, Custom) like I can with the Keyword Planner?

Hi Steve, 

I'm afraid its not possible to set the dateRange or compare periods when you use TargetingIdeaService to get search volume data and trends. At the moment, the TargetingIdeaService returns the TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES for the past twelve months. Please keep an eye on our blog for any updates or announcements about this feature.
