How to get keyword search volume using Google Ads

[Marcos Duran]

Is there a way to get the search volume for a particular keyword using the Google Ads API? (currently in Beta)

I can get something along the lines using the Generate Keyword Ideas example at:
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/keyword-planning/generate-keyword-ideas

But it also provides me with about 1000 results which seems a bit overkill, I would like to restrict it to a specific keyword.

Thanks

Is there a free way to get search volume for a particular keyword, since your method(" this guide" below) should create a plan first, and we have a limit to create a plan
