TrafficEstimatorService issue with maxCPC

[Pradeep Datla]

Hi Support Team,

we are trying to implement TrafficEstimatorService to get Impressions per day for the keywords added while creating a new campaign (Proposed Campaign). We dont have maxCPC to be sent to this service while getting keyword traffic. If i remove maxCPC property during api request it errors out. 

What is the solution for this? As per my understanding maxCPC is only needed during manual bidding while we are planning to do automatic bidding by providing a daily budget for the campaign. If i comment out the following lines of code, the api errors out saying that the field is mandatory.

Thank You,

Pradeep Datla.

Hi Pradeep,

Thank you for reaching out. Please see here for information about maxCpc in the KeywordEstimatorService. As it says, the value is required if there isn't a maxCpc set for the AdGroupEstimateRequest or a default value set by the ad group. You must set this value for the estimate even if you plan to use automatic bidding.

Thank you Mitchell for the response, 

Is there a default value (recommended) i can set so that we can get right number of impressions, as the results vary based on maxCPC being set.

Hi Pradeep,

There is no default value. You should choose a maxCpc that is best for your account and budget.
