googleads-php-lib TargetingIdeaService doesn't return stats on some keywords

[Douglas Lewis]

here is an example of two keywords that don't return STATS information on the actual keyword (there are many more)
natural recovery supplement
grief (or any multi word keyword that includes grief). Actually, grief doesen't even return IDEAS.

Also quite often, the IDEAS results return numbers that very significantly from the Google keyword planner. Below are the results that I look for.
AttributeType::SEARCH_VOLUME,
AttributeType::AVERAGE_CPC,
AttributeType::COMPETITION

I just noticed also that the keyword planner doesn't like these two keywords.

Hi Douglas, 

We have an ongoing issue with the TargetingIdeaService where API does not return any results while including some keywords. Our team is currently looking into the issue. I will keep you posted when I have an update from them. Regarding the TargetingIdeaService returning different results compared to Keyword planner, could you please share your SOAP logs for that API call? You can reply privately to author while sharing the details. 

Thanks,

Hi Douglas, 

This issue has been fixed. Both "natural recovery supplement" and "grief" does not have any stats to return and hence API will not return values. But combining these with keywords which have stats should not cause any issues now. Please let me know if you continue to see issues.
