GenerateForecastMetrics for an existing campaign

[Siddharth Raina]

Hi,

I am looking for ways to generate forecast metrics for an existing search campaign. Is there an easy way to map an existing campaign to the CampaingToForecast object?

Looking for ways to not create a new CampaignToForecast object with ad groups and biddable keywords, but directly use an existing campaign to generate forecasts.

Regards,

Sid

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

Based on the provided information, I understand that you would like to generate forecast metrics in your account. To generate forecast metrics for an existing search campaign without creating a new CampaignToForecast object:

1. Retrieve Campaign Data: Fetch campaign details using the keyword_view resource through the Google Ads API. For more information, you can refer to this document.
2. Use the KeywordPlanIdeaService API to input your campaign data and get forecast metrics like impressions, clicks, and costs.

This avoids creating a new forecasting object and uses your existing campaign data effectively.
