Hi Sebastian, Upon investigation, I have noticed that some of the parameters applied in your AdWords UI request were not applied in your AdWords API call. Could you include the missing parameters (e.g. NetworkSetting <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201806/TrafficEstimatorService.NetworkSetting>) before making the call? You may refer to this guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/traffic-estimator-service#prepare_the_request> for the sample code in setting up your parameters.
If there is still a discrepancy after applying the missing parameters, feel free to write back with the complete SOAP request and response logs during the service call via *Reply privately to author* so I could further investigate.
