Hi, 

Reading the docs for Google Ads api it looks like when requesting historical search volumes for keywords the service will produce a canonicalized result set, is there a way to avoid doing this? Asking as canonical keyword variants have different search volumes, alternatively can there be a canonical reference returned to link instances of canonical keywords?

Release notes for reference: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/release-notes, looking under Keyword Planning.

Thanks,
Si

Hi Si,

Unfortunately, there is no way to not use canonical sets of keywords using Google Ads API since it uses the same functionality as the Keyword Planner in the UI.
