Keywords not returned in GetRelatedKeywords.php

[v]

I am using V201008 of AdWords API, Targeting Idea Service with GetRelatedKeywords.php in order to return the monthly search volume for a few keywords.

 

When I send my query with 2 keywords such as "dress", and "shirt", and I set:

$paging=new Paging();

$paging->startIndex=0;

$paging->numberResults=2;

then it returns 2 keywords, but not the same ones that I gave it. For instance, it returns "dresses" and "formal dresses". I want for it to return the same ones that I gave it. How do I get it to return "dress" and "shirt", the same keywords that I gave it?

Hi,

if you are requesting new keyword ideas (RequestType.IDEAS) then it is not guaranteed that return keywords ideas will be in such order that seed keywords come first.
If you really want new keywords ideas, then you actually don't know the number of actual results so the best thing to do is to set Paging.numberResults = 800 (max).
If you want only statistics for your two keywords then use RequestType.STATS in TargetingIdeaSelector.

Also, it looks like there is a different behavior between v201008 and v201101. TargetingIdeaService in v201101 doesn't return seed keywords if request type is IDEAS. Here is more info about TargetingIdeaService v201101 doesn't return seed keywords.
