Adwords API Keyword Tool lastMonthSearchVolume return -1 randomly

[hispa...@hotmail.com]

Hi,

I have configured a keyword tool like keywordtoolexternal in a server,
but the value of lastMonthSearchVolume is not received ok.

Sometimes get the correct value and sometimes I get -1 value and need
to refresh the query.

Can check what i tell in this page:
http://plantillaswebgratis.com.es/src/keywordtool.php

The query is for 2 keywords: "juegos nintendo ds" and "swap magic"

I dont know if its a temporal problem of Adwords API or related to
NUsoap class.

Any help will be appreciated.
Pablo.

Hello Pablo,

A value of -1 is returned when there is either not enough data to
generate a reliable search volume estimate or a problem contacting the
backend service that provides search volume estimates. If you're
performing a getKeywordVariations() call with a narrow scope of
language or countries then it's more likely that there wouldn't be
enough data to generate a reliable search volume estimate.

If you believe you're getting -1 returned as the last month's search
volume erroneously, could you please provide information about the
SOAP request and response that you're sending and receiving? Either a
copy of the full SOAP request and response, or just the value of the
requestId header from the SOAP response message would be fine.

Cheers,

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your reply, but I believe the reason is not the enough
data, because keywords like "psp" or "wii" had -1 search volume, and
if i refresh the page and retry the call it gets a correct value, but
other keywords got -1 value.

This is the header I sent to Adwords API:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/

Hello Jeff,

Have you checked if there is any problem on Adwords API with keyword
tool?

Hello,

I'm in touch with the core engineering team, and they're
investigating whether there are any issues that might cause a failure
to retrieve lastMonthSearchVolume information.

Hello,

Please see my message at the end of this thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api/browse_thread/thread/9580f88e47cc29aa

Fresh search volume data is currently being pushed out and replicated
globally, and the engineering team believes that the sporadic -1
results you were seeing is a side-effect of that process. Once it is
complete there should be up to date data available globally. They
mentioned that you should check again on Monday to confirm this.
