Hello Eric, The maximum number of variations you'll get back from the getKeywordVariations() call is 200. If there are at least 200 "additionalToConsider" keywords, then you'll get all of those returned to you and no "moreSpecific" ones, as the "additionalToConsider" are considered more relevant and therefore preference is given to them in the return values. If there are fewer than 200 "additionalToConsider" variations, then you'll receive some "moreSpecific" variations as well. Think of it as
count(additionalToConsider) + count(moreSpecific) <= 200 with preference given to "additionalToConsider".
