Hello, I'm trying to use TargetingIdeaService with specific cities / regions within a state and to conduct searchvolume lookups on my keywords. I'm running just one location at a time to keep things simple and I'm using the most recent Geographical Targeting database for the Adwords API located here: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/geotargeting
When I conduct searches on some of the criterion id's (mostly smaller cities), even though its clearly active in the database, I get an error stating that the location is invalid. Snipped from SOAP log file: <faultstring>[TargetingIdeaError.INVALID_SEARCH_PARAMETERS @ selector.searchParameters[1].locations[0]; trigger:'LocationSearchParameter']</faultstring> In particular, it seems the location I used is the source of the error. For this example, I used ID 1012884 which maps to "Eagle River,Alaska,United States". Even manually doing a search in Keyword Planner for "Eagle River,Alaska,United States" as a specific location, I get no matching region from the web interface so I can see why the API is failing. However, the current geographical targeting database shows this location to be valid, but the API doesn't seem to recognize it. I tried with other criterion id's for major cities and I got the correct result, but for small cities and regions, it seems not all the ID's are actually valid despite being marked as active in the Geographical Targeting database I downloaded. Is there a way to get a list of criterion id's that are active/working/recognized by the API or at least a way to filter out the ID's that will cause an error?
