Hello, (a) The data is updated periodically, as you might have guessed. However, the period can vary and the exact interval at which the data is updated isn't something we publicize.
(b) The results returned via the AdWords API's Traffic Estimator service are not meant to replicate the results returned via the AdWords web interface's similar tool. However, the results from the AdWords API aren't "out of sync"; the nature of an estimate is that it is based on a number of underlying assumptions, and the current implementations happen to vary somewhat on those assumptions and can lead to different results. If you follow the guidelines outlined at http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com/2008/07/traffic-estimator-service-explained.html you should get results you can rely on. (c) There should be sample code illustrating how to use the traffic estimator service included along with the client libraries which we make available: http://www.google.com/apis/adwords/clients.html and if you want to look at a generic implementation of how to call the service from a representative SOAP toolkit in a given language, look at the examples at http://www.google.com/apis/adwords/samples.html Cheers, -Jeff Posnick, AdWords API Team On Aug 27, 2:27 pm, cricketvoice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just getting started... > > (a) How frequently is the traffic estimator data updated > (b) Is the API in sync with the data...I heard there were some issues > with search on here versus calling via API > (c) Are there pre-made codes that I can copy and paste available on > here? > > Thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
