Is it possible to get more than 12 months monthly search volume from TargetingIdeaSelector ?

[Mark Edmondson]

Hi! 

Up until recently I was getting 24 months worth of historic data for a TargetingIdeaService call with "TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES" in a requestedAttributeType, but now it seems that only 12 months are fetched.

Is this a permanent change or am I doing something wrong in the API call below (python)

    selector = {
        'searchParameters':[
            {
                'xsi_type':'RelatedToQuerySearchParameter',
                'queries': keywords
            },
            {
              'xsi_type':'NetworkSearchParameter',
              'networkSetting':{
                'targetGoogleSearch': True,
                'targetSearchNetwork': False,
                'targetContentNetwork': False,
                'targetPartnerSearchNetwork': False
              }
            },
            {
                'xsi_type':'LocationSearchParameter',
                'locations':[{'id': locationId}]

            }
        ],
        'ideaType': 'KEYWORD',
        'requestType':'STATS',
        'requestedAttributeTypes':[
            'KEYWORD_TEXT','TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES','AVERAGE_CPC','SEARCH_VOLUME'
        ],
        'paging':{
            'startIndex': '0',
            'numberResults': '700'
        },
        'localeCode': 'da-DK', # RFC 3066
        'currencyCode': currencyCode

    }

If it is a permanent change, could I request if it could be upped to at least 13 months, as we lose the ability to do year-on-year comparisons for keyword trends that is very useful.

Yours sincerely,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately, you can only currently get the last 12 months of search volume for the TargetingIdeaService.
