Hi,

I am not seeing equivalent to get only Stats for Supply keywords same as We can do with Adwords API TargetingIdeaService with request Type = STATS.
I can only get the RequestType = IDEAS with new Google Ads API.

Let me know how I can do same?


Thanks,

Hello Chirag,

You could refer here to know more about the KeywordPlanService in the Google Ads API. To get the historical metrics you have to use KeywordPlanService.GenerateHistoricalMetrics which is equivalent to the RequestType=STATS in the TargetingIdeaService. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi Sai,

Thanks for the Answer.

For this service to use I need to Add Keywords Plan first?

This is not required earlier, and If I need to Add Keywords Plan Should I change it to something else? How I can update same once added?


Thanks,

Also In addition to above question.

I only need to have Ideas that is same as UI like under UI Keywords you provided and Keyword ideas(This I can get using KeywordPlanIdeaService.GenerateKeywordIdeas)
But Keywords you provided is something I need.

I am using this service to generate some Ideas for keywords, so I need to update the Location and keywords.

For every new Idea/Location I need to have different Keyword Plan?


Thanks,

Hello Chirag,

Regarding the KeywordPlanService.GenerateHistoricalMetrics, you have to create a KeywordPlan and should have KeywordPlanKeyword first. You should be able to update the KeywordPlan using the KeywordPlanService.MutateKeywordPlans

Regarding the KeywordPlanIdeaService.GenerateKeywordIdeas, you don't need to have a keyword plan. Just update the keyword and location information as you used to do with the AdWords API. This is the only service which does not require a Keyword Plan to be created because it provides keyword suggestions to assist with the plan creation. You could refer here for more information.

Hello Sai,

Thanks for the Answer.

I may be not have asked properly.

Under UI there is 2 sections under Keyword Ideas.
One under heading Keywords you provided and second Keyword ideas.

Is there any method, so that I can get only Keywords you provided section using KeywordPlanIdeaService.GenerateKeywordIdeas?


Thanks,

Hello Chirag,

The Keywords you provided is not available via API. The KeywordPlanIdeaService.GenerateKeywordIdeas will return only the Keyword ideas of the seed keywords you provided but not the seed keywords itself. Instead to get the stats of the seed keywords you can add them to the KeywordPlanKeyword and use KeywordPlanService.GenerateHistoricalMetrics.

Hello Sai,

This new API is missing so many things.

Can you please guide me how I can do this?

1) CategoryProductsAndServicesSearchParameter
2) IdeaTextFilterSearchParameter
3) IncludeAdultContentSearchParameter
4) SearchVolumeSearchParameter
5) RelatedToQuerySearchParameter
6) RelatedToUrlSearchParameter


I am also not getting all of the Attributes
For e.g. CATEGORY_PRODUCTS_AND_SERVICES, EXTRACTED_FROM_WEBPAGE, AVERAGE_CPC


Also there is no “Top of page bid (low range)”, “Top of page bid (high range)”, Competition (indexed value), Organic average position (“Organic avg. position”), Organic impression share (“Organic impr. share”) misisng from new UI

Hello Chirag,

As of now I did not see equivalents to search parameters and attribute types in the new API. I will share your concern with my team and update you once I have more information. Meanwhile you could keep an eye on our blog for information related to the future releases.

Perhaps related to this question - it looks like the existing Adwords API is returning STATS (RequestType.STATS) only up until March 2019 (even when called today).
I understood that the API should provide fresh information through 2019 - am I missing something?
Thanks,
Gaddy

Hello Gaddy,

The existing AdWords API will return fresh starts even after March 2019. If you are seeing any discrepancy, please elaborate your concern and share the complete SOAP logs using reply privately to the author option to investigate further.

How to get Keyword Stats without creating campaign , adgroup or keyword resources? is it compulsory that we need to create this all resources to get keywords traffic stats?

Could you please provide any specific example where we can get keywords stats without creating resources using google ads api v8?

Hi Vijaysinh,

Thanks for raising your concern.

Is the information that you are looking for can also be seen in the UI? If yes, so that we can take a closer look, could you provide sample screenshots of the whole UI where we can see the data that you want to get so that we check if this is possible in the API?

You can provide it via Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.
