Google Adword API - Not getting data for some of the Keywords.

[Neetu Varshney]

Hello Team,

As I am using google Adword APIs from here https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/samples/php/optimization#get-keywords-related-to-a-seed-keyword,

It is giving data for many of the "keywords like Paytm, apple, iPhone, amazon" etc.

But It is not giving data for some of the keywords like - "Covid 19, Trump, Biden, etc"

So I am not finding anything, please suggest to me how can I get data for all the keywords.

Thanks,

Hello Ernie

Thanks for the reply,

As I am already following the same guideline (provided by you). I am getting "0" Search Volume for these keywords "Covid 19, Trump, Biden". Please suggest me so that I can get the right data.

Hi Neetu,

I ran the code sample against my account, using the phrases 'Covid 19', 'Biden' and 'Trump', and I did get results by changing line 179:

    relatedToQuerySearchParameter.setQueries(new String[] {"bakery", "pastries", "birthday cake"});

Are you providing an ad group ID as an argument for the keyword planner? 

Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matt,

Thanks for the reply

As I using the code from https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib/blob/6c3e8c7c7d5023535a836a7a65e6813fcca6d9ae/examples/AdWords/v201809/Optimization/GetKeywordIdeas.php here, and I get result for "bakery", "pastries", "birthday cake", but as I changed these keywords by "Biden, Covid 19" etc, then got no values of "Search Volume", CPC, etc.

I am using the same code from the above URL, only changed the authentication cofiguration. 

Please help me.

Hi Neetu,

So our team can investigate this further, could you provide your customer ID and the complete request and response logs that were generated?

In addition, could you confirm whether the same input generated results in the Keyword Planner? If yes, could you also send a screenshot?

You may send the requested details using the Reply privately to author option.

Hi Neetu,

Unfortunately, our team is unable to open or access the file that you have attached. Furthermore, I had to delete your response and re-post it below as the file you contained may contain your account information.

"Hello Ernie,
Greetings of the day!!
I am using the same script which you have mentioned in the document.

I have attached the response screenshot here, and I searching keyword stats for "trump and Biden in my request". Please have a look at my attachment.

As I am getting data i.e "KEYWORD_TEXT, SEARCH_VOLUME, AVERAGE_CPC, COMPETITION" for many keywords like "Paytm, cycle, cab, amazon, bakery, etc". So the script which I shared on the above email chain is working fine, the only thing is not providing data for a few keywords like -Covid 19, trump, Biden, etc."

That said, since you are not able to reply privately, could you please send a more accessible set of files/details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead?
