Hi Dhwani, If you want to get only past statistics for keywords using Keyword planner <https://adwords.google.com/KeywordPlanner>, you don't need to create your own Ad in the AdWords. You can use the TargetingIdeaService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/targeting-idea-service> to get the past keyword statistics. Please check out our Java client library GetKeywordIdeas example <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fgoogleads%2Fgoogleads-java-lib%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2Fexamples%2Fadwords_axis%2Fsrc%2Fmain%2Fjava%2Fadwords%2Faxis%2Fv201502%2Foptimization%2FGetKeywordIdeas.java&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHiqd7qSJIzkPYW-nItJ2Tr_iYE2Q> .
