REST API Get request to generate KeywordPlanHistoricalMetrics in PHP

[Mostafa Ezzat]

I want to get request by using file_get_contents() php function. I have this function is that parameters are correct but the problem there is

no sample to parse the word it self to get the metrics for so how to write the parameters and pass the word to then i'll use `json_decode()`

```

            $api_call = file_get_contents('https://googleads.googleapis.com?KeywordPlanHistoricalMetrics=competition,avgMonthlySearches,competitionIndex,lowTopOfPageBidMicros,highTopOfPageBidMicros,monthlySearchVolumes')

```

Hi Mostafa,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

It appears that your concern is more on implementation/integration of our client libraries rather than anything specific to Google Ads API itself. Since this is more of implementation/integration specific issue, then we would recommend reaching out the PHP developer who maintain our client libraries here.

Hi Mostafa,

I am also a member of the Google Ads API team and let me provide support to your concern.

If you will directly use REST API to manage Google Ads account programmatically such as the keyword planner, then I would suggest to refer to this document as it presents details specific to REST and explains what you need to know to call the REST interface directly, without the use of a Google-supported client library.

Let me know if you have further questions.
