Hi thanks very much for the response. sorry, can I just clarify, the HistoricalMetricsOptions only allows 12 months then, not 4 years as per the documentation? I will take a look at the *forecast metrics*. but I do not think have what we need.
The other question was about creating the HistoricalMetricsOptions in a campaign using the API. Then being able to view the data in the UI. So I understand that you cannot therefore speak to the 2nd part of this process, but is it possible to create the campaign with the APi with 4 years using the API, and then view it in the UI. So far any campaigns we have created do not seem to be visible in the UI. thanks again On Wednesday, 5 July 2023 at 13:28:17 UTC+1 Google Ads API Forum Advisor wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks for reaching out to *Google Ads API* Support. > > With regards to your first concern, based on our documentation ( > *https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/keyword-planning/generate-historical-metrics* > > <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/keyword-planning/generate-historical-metrics>), > > the averages monthly searches is *12 months*, and the approximate monthly > search volume is only per months.
