I'm working on a C# application using the Adwords .NET library to determine search rates for potential campaigns. All seems to work well, except that some search queries don't return a SEARCH_VOLUME result.
using System; using Google.Api.Ads.AdWords.Lib; using Google.Api.Ads.AdWords.v201710; namespace WpfApp1 { internal class MyClass { public MyClass() { AdWordsUser user = new AdWordsUser(); TargetingIdeaService targetIdeaService = (TargetingIdeaService)user.GetService(AdWordsService.v201710.TargetingIdeaService); TargetingIdeaSelector targetIdeaSelector = new TargetingIdeaSelector(); targetIdeaSelector.ideaType = IdeaType.KEYWORD; targetIdeaSelector.requestType = RequestType.STATS; targetIdeaSelector.requestedAttributeTypes = new AttributeType[] { AttributeType.SEARCH_VOLUME }; var locationSearchParam = new LocationSearchParameter(); var searchLocation = new Location(); searchLocation.id = 2840; //United States locationSearchParam.locations = new Location[] { searchLocation }; targetIdeaSelector.paging = new Paging(); targetIdeaSelector.paging.numberResults = 600; targetIdeaSelector.paging.startIndex = 0; var relatedQuerySearchParam = new RelatedToQuerySearchParameter(); relatedQuerySearchParam.queries = new string[] { "amherst properties" }; targetIdeaSelector.searchParameters = new SearchParameter[] { locationSearchParam, relatedQuerySearchParam }; var targetIdeaPage = targetIdeaService.get(targetIdeaSelector); Console.WriteLine(targetIdeaPage.totalNumEntries); } } } Output: 0 In my real application, there's around ~500+ queries per request to help prevent Rate issues. Since the api doesn't error, and simply doesn't return a value, I have no way of knowing what one failed and it causes my lists to be different lengths. Is there something I should be aware of in-terms of things that shouldn't queried, or some way to handle this situation?
