I'm using the AdWords API in order to find related keywords along with the competition level, search volume and monthly average volume. I have finally got everything working with the V2009 API version but am experiencing a couple very odd results.
- I get 3 entries for every keyword each containing completely different metrics for each matching keyword instance. - Although I get 3 sets of conflicting data per keyword, none of the metrics match what is returned by the V13 service. The results in the V13 service match the results found using the Google Keyword Tool (https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal) Here is a sample of the Ruby code I'm using to make the call: latest = AdWords::Service.latest_version api = AdWords::API.new(AdWords::AdWordsCredentials.new(GOOGLE_API_CREDENTIALS)) svc = api.get_service('TargetingIdea', latest) page_results = 100 selector = svc.module::TargetingIdeaSelector.new keyword_parameter = svc.module::RelatedToKeywordSearchParameter.new kwd = svc.module::Keyword.new kwd.text = self.name kwd.matchType = 'BROAD' keyword_parameter.keywords = [kwd] selector.searchParameters = [keyword_parameter] selector.ideaType = 'KEYWORD' selector.requestType = 'STATS' selector.requestedAttributeTypes = %w(KEYWORD TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES AVERAGE_TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES COMPETITION) selector.paging = svc.module::Paging.new selector.paging.startIndex = 0 selector.paging.numberResults = page_results page = svc.get(selector) -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Have you migrated to v200909 yet? The v13 sunset is on April 22, 2010.
