How to refine keywords with Google Ads API?

[xxx...@gmail.com]

The kind and number of keyword refining options offered by the Keyword Planner's GUI depend on the keyword seed - having "insurance" as seed gives other refining options, then with a "buy iPhone" as seed. 

Generation of keyword ideas with new Google Ads API seems to offer a keyword refining too. 

But, looking at the linked documentation https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v9/GenerateKeywordIdeasRequest#keyword_annotation - I can't find any refining options like they are in Keyword Planner in the screenshot. What is the way to refine keyword ideas generation done by Google Ads API?

Hi,

You can try the following REST example with curl:

curl -i --request POST https://googleads.googleapis.com/v9/customers/<CID>:generateKeywordIdeas \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "login-customer-id: <MCCID>" \
--header "developer-token: <DT>" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <AT>" \
--data '{

"keywordSeed": {
    "keywords": [
    "Legal services","legal plan","legal expenses","legal costs","insurance","health insurance","vehicle insurance"
  ]
  },
"keywordAnnotation": [
   "KEYWORD_CONCEPT"
  ]
}'

​​​​​​​I tried it and the categories showed.

Hello Aryeh!

Could you please publish here a screenshot of your cURL response? I seem to do something wrong and want to know, how looks an answer in case of correct querying. Specially I'm interesting how looks "and the categories showed".

Thank you!
