Keywords metrics are missing in KeywordPlanService/GenerateHistoricalMetrics

[Maksym Masalitin]

Hello!

I am trying to get historical statistics as described here https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/keyword-planning/generate-historical-metrics?hl=en#generate_the_metrics

I created keyword plans and do a request to GenerateHistoricalMetrics

But it doesn't respond to me with keyword metrics objects. 

https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v9/KeywordPlanKeywordHistoricalMetrics?hl=en

In the response I can see searchQuery and closeVariants only for some of my keywords, you can find logs here:

How can I get KeywordPlanHistoricalMetrics statistics in the response?

Btw, on UI after Keyword plan creation according to the steps in documentation I have error adn can not see these stats as well

Thanks,

Hi Maksim,

Thank you for reaching out to Google Ads API support. For us to investigate we will need the following :

• Full screen screenshot of the UI showing a keyword plan not in found with the API.
• Request and response  'DEBUG' log level log of API communications of the API showing no historical metrics and no keyword plans. 

The request and response appears similar to the JSON Mappings in our REST documentation with additional headers and information such as request Id. You may send this privately.

Regards,
