micros to dollar

[Oleg Disrupt]

Hello

I got the

high_top_of_page_bid_micros using

getKeywordIdeaMetrics

api function.

It shows big number like 860000.

I can see it as $value as shown in google keywordplan.

How can I get this value?

Thanks

Hi Oleg,

Thanks for reaching out. I assume you are referring to either low_top_of_page_bid_micros or high_top_of_page_bid_micros fields in the KeywordPlanHistoricalMetrics. These fields can only return values in terms of micros, not account currency. Micros are defined as the account currency multiplied by 1,000,000.

Hi Matt,

Thank you for your help.

I have one thing to ask you.

when i call 

generateKeywordIdeas method

in this KeywordPlanIdeaServiceGrpcClient, it requires

geoTargetConstants (locations array).

I got the all locations from geotarget.csv and created the array.

It required max 10 value in array but I can see 60 locations id(Parent ID) so I created 6 vars in array. like this

private const LOC_IDS = array(

        array(21132,21133,21135,21136,21137,21138,21139,21140,21141),

        array(21142,21143,21144,21145,21146,21147,21148,21149,21150),

        array(21151,21152,21153,21154,21155,21156,21157,21158,21159),

        array(21160,21161,21162,21163,21164,21165,21166,21167,21168),

        array(21169,21170,21171,21172,21173,21174,21175,21176,21177),

        array(21178,21179,21180,21182,21183,21184)

    );

I run

generateKeywordIdeas

 function with above location ids, it shows a little different with google keywordideas.

for example when I enter the keyword("rare books"), google shows (avg month search: 6,600,  High bid — $0.41)

but my app shows
avg month search :7390, high bid: $6.24(micro value is 6248351)

I got the result after tried to sum each it's value from 6 times searching.

foreach ($response->iterateAllElements() as $result) {

                    $avg = (is_null($result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()) ? 0 : $result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()->getAvgMonthlySearches());

                    $bid = (is_null($result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()) ? 0 : $result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()->getHighTopOfPageBidMicros());

                    $comp = (is_null($result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()) ? 0 : $result->getKeywordIdeaMetrics()->getCompetition());

       

                    if ($comp > 3 && $bid > 0) {

                        for ($j=0; $j<$cnt; $j++) {

                            if ($res[$j]["keyword"] == $result->getText()) {

                                $flag = true;

                                break;                  

                            }

                        }

                        if ($flag) {

                            $res[$j]["avgmonth"] += $avg;

                            $res[$j]["highbid"] += $bid;

                            $flag = false;

                        } else {

                            ...

                        }

                    }

                }

what is my issue?

Thanks

In google ads keywordplanner I tried to search with my keywords and customer id, language us(1000), location : united state

But as I mentioned above it was different result between my app and google keywordplans

Hi Oleg,

Glad to hear you found a solution. Please let us know if we can help with anything else.

Hi Chaitali,

Thank you for reaching out to our team.

Please note that we removed your message in the forum because it contains logs and screenshots which is prohibited for security reasons.

Moving forward to your concern, I understand you are encountering data discrepancies between UI and API. With this, in order for us to investigate the error, would you be able to provide the following data?

• Screenshot of the UI where you downloaded the report and compared it to the API.
• Complete request and response logs with request ID and request header generated on your end. 
• Sample comparison of the screenshot of the UI and the API where we can see the discrepancies.

 
While gathering the data that we are requesting, I would like to specify first the following when comparing the value of the UI and API:

• Comparing the API and UI on the same level as possible.
• The segments and fields of the API and UI should be the same.
• The date range is also the same.

 
The report of the API and UI should be generated at the same time. The reason for this is that both API and UI follow the data freshness whose statistics might be updated or adjusted. With this, if generated at different times, then one of them is updated and one is not so data discrepancies might occur.

You can provide it via Reply privately to the author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.
