The results of KeywordPlanHistoricalMetrics's avg_monthly_searches are different

[冨田英祐（pokotyamu えーちゃん）]

Hi,

I use KeywordPlanHistoricalMetrics API.
This API return avg_monthly_searches. It's "Approximate number of monthly searches on this query averaged for the past 12 months".
Does this 12 month value ever change with GCP account or customer_id or some other factor?
I believe that the value of the number of searches remains the same, am I wrong?

Please let me know.

Hi Eisuke,

I hope you are doing well. This is Carmela from the Google Ads API support team. Thank you for getting back to us.

With regards to your concern, monthly_search_volumes fields will return the approximate number of searches on this query for the past twelve months. As for "Does this 12 month value ever change with GCP account or customer_id or some other factor?" and "I believe that the value of the number of searches remains the same, am I wrong?", as per this documentation, please note that metrics like search volume are updated monthly by looking at the last month's search volume. This is the same data as Google Trends.
