GenerateKeywordForecastMetricsRequest - raise INVALID_ARGUMENT

[Nadav Amami]

Hi,

I am trying to execute generate_keyword_forecast_metrics from python, and i keep getting 

INVALID_ARGUMENT but with no meaningful data, i have checked the request attributes and it seems ok, please find bellow the request:

customer_id: "<customer_id>"
forecast_period {
  start_date: "2023-06-15"
  end_date: "2023-07-15"
}
campaign {
  keyword_plan_network: GOOGLE_SEARCH
  bidding_strategy {
    manual_cpc_bidding_strategy {
      max_cpc_bid_micros: 10000000
    }
  }
  ad_groups {
    biddable_keywords {
      keyword {
        text: "hotel"
        match_type: EXACT
      }
    }
    biddable_keywords {
      keyword {
        text: "restaurant"
        match_type: EXACT
      }
    }
  }

} 

the error i am seeing is :

Hi Nadav,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Upon checking the logs you have provided, I can see that you are using the same day start date, please note that the start date must be in the future and the end date must be within 1 year from today. You may check this reference (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v14/GenerateKeywordForecastMetricsRequest#forecast_period) for more information. That being said, I would suggest you to change your start date to future date.

Let me know if you have further questions.
