KeywordPlanIdeaService GenerateKeywordHistoricalMetrics not working

[Ofir Chityat]

Hi
I am trying to use the KeywordPlanIdeaService
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v10/KeywordPlanIdeaService
And use the GenerateKeywordHistoricalMetrics function but I get the following errors:

1. ValueError: Specified type 'GenerateKeywordHistoricalMetricsRequest' does not exist in Google Ads API v10
2. AttributeError: 'KeywordPlanIdeaServiceClient' object has no attribute 'generate_keyword_historical_metrics

This is my code:

client = GoogleAdsClient.load_from_dict(credentials, version='v10')
keyword_plan_idea_service = client.get_service("KeywordPlanIdeaService")
request = client.get_type("GenerateKeywordHistoricalMetricsRequest")
request.customer_id = 'xxxxxxxxxxx'
request.keywords.extend(['nurse jobs'])

keyword_ideas = keyword_plan_idea_service.generate_keyword_historical_metrics(
request=request
)

Any ideas what is wrong?

That method was erroneously published in the reference docs and is not available yet. Docs have been updated

Hi everyone,

The REST implementation works, for correct calls through a client library you may reach out the issue tracker of the client library you are using.

Hi,

Thank you for raising your concern to our team.

Unfortunately, utilizing of the keyword plan to generate historical metrics is required in the Google Ads API so you will need to pass it in the API request. Please see this document to know more information about generating historical metrics in Google Ads API.

Let me know if you have further questions.
