Hi Google Support Team,

We are using AdWords API (targetingIdeaService) from the last few months and the results of this API used to match the previous version of the Keyword Planner Tool. Since the release of the new Keyword Planner tool, the results are not matching. 

Then we implemented the new Ads API (keywordPlanServiceClient) hoping it will match the results of the new Keyword Planner Tool, but these also not matching.

Now we feel that both of these API's keywords are not as relevant as it used to be with the old Keyword Planner tool.

Please advise us on which API to use which gives us quality, relevant keyword ideas and matching results with the new Keyword Planner tool.

Please see below link for a document where we summarized all the variations of the results of both APIs and the new Keyword Planner Tool.
