KeywordPlanAggregateMetrics option in GenerateHistoricalMetricsRequest

[Jakub Tomaszewski]

Hi,

I'm trying to GenerateHistoricalMetricsRequest with aggregate_metrics in order to get search volume for every device type, but I can't make it work.

My code (Python):

keyword_plan_service = client.get_service("KeywordPlanService")

metric_request =  client.get_type("GenerateHistoricalMetricsRequest")

resource_name = keyword_plan_service.keyword_plan_path(client_id, keywordplan)

metric_request.keyword_plan=resource_name

metric_request.historical_metrics_options.year_month_range.start.year=2020

metric_request.historical_metrics_options.year_month_range.start.month=client.get_type("MonthOfYearEnum").MonthOfYear.JANUARY

metric_request.historical_metrics_options.year_month_range.end.year=2020

metric_request.historical_metrics_options.year_month_range.end.month=client.get_type("MonthOfYearEnum").MonthOfYear.MARCH

metric_request.aggregate_metrics.aggregate_metric_types = [client.get_type("KeywordPlanAggregateMetricTypeEnum").KeywordPlanAggregateMetricType.DEVICE]

response =  keyword_plan_service.generate_historical_metrics(metric_request)

metric_request returns this:

keyword_plan: "customers/<client_id>/keywordPlans/<keywordplan>"

aggregate_metrics {

  aggregate_metric_types: DEVICE

}

historical_metrics_options {

  year_month_range {

    start {

      year: 2020

      month: JANUARY

    }

    end {

      year: 2020

      month: MARCH

    }

  }

}

(client_id and keywordplan are specified earlier).

Request above returns data in total, without breaking down by device. It doesn't make any difference if I pass metric_request.aggregate_metrics.aggregate_metric_types or not. My guess is that I specify it incorrectly. Calling client.get_type("KeywordPlanAggregateMetricTypeEnum").KeywordPlanAggregateMetricType.DEVICE 

returns: <KeywordPlanAggregateMetricType.DEVICE: 2>

Any idea how to fix this?

Nevermind, it's all working correctly when querying more keywords. I was querying 2 keywords that's why nothing was returned.

Hi,

Could you please provide us with the complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated at your end, so that we can investigate this issue further.

If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.
