TrafficEstimatorService is not giving correct values as UI

[suga priya]

Hi,

I am using TrafficEstimatorService  to get clicks, impression.ad position,avg cpc etc etc by using TrafficEstimatorService . Please find my settings below for the attached screenshots

    $unitedStates = new Location();
    $unitedStates->id = 2840;
    $campaignEstimateRequest->criteria[] = $unitedStates;

    $english = new Language();
    $english->id = 1000;
    $campaignEstimateRequest->criteria[] = $english;
 
    $network = new networkSetting();
    $network->targetGoogleSearch = true;
    $network->targetSearchNetwork = false;
    $network->targetPartnerSearchNetwork  = false;
    $network->targetContentNetwork    =    false;
    $campaignEstimateRequests->networkSetting[] = $network;

The value getting from UI is not matching with API values and we recently changed the client id since we moved all the Adwords account to mcc account.
Plese help us resolve this issue

Hello,

Do you run the TES request against the same clientCustomerId?

What is the exact service response?

Hello,

The request you are making is for "Fleet Management Software" while it's a different keyword on the screenshot. These need to match for us to investigate.

Also, please make sure to not to share your developer token in the future. This is a public forum and anyone can find and use it potentially denied you the API access. Please reset the token in the AdWords API Center (in the MCC) to a new value as soon as possible. If not reset, your token can be revoked as it was compromised.

Hi,

Thanks a lot. By mistake i shared the full response code If you don't mind can you please delete/hide your previous post, it has thread.

We have reset developer token as you suggested.

please find the below response for  "Fleet Management Software" and refer above UI screenshot for the same.

Is something wrong in network settings? am using below code for that

    $network = new networkSetting();
    $network->targetGoogleSearch = true;
    $network->targetSearchNetwork = false;
    $network->targetPartnerSearchNetwork  = false;
    $network->targetContentNetwork    =    false;

    $campaignEstimateRequest->networkSetting[] = $network;

Hello,

Thank you for the details. I have reproduced the issue and I can't see any good reason for discrepancy.

I'll follow up internally and update this thread.

-Danial, AdWords API Team.

[suga priya]

Thank a lot.

[suga priya]

Hi,

Is there any update on this?

Thanks,
Sugappriya

[Danial Klimkin]

Hello Sugappriya,

I just received the response. There are difference in the parameters that can't be fully controlled. E.g. Keyword Planner date range is set to NEXT_WEEK by default. In the API this value can not be set and defaults to LAST_WEEK.

We currently don't expect to match keywork planner to TES for many requests.
