I'm using the TargetingIdea service in the following way:

ti_srv = adwords.service("TargetingIdea", 200909)

        kw = ti_srv.module::Keyword.new
        kw.text = '車' #car in Japanese
        kw.matchType = "EXACT"

        parameter1 =
ti_srv.module::RelatedToKeywordSearchParameter.new
        parameter1.keywords = [kw]

        parameter2 =
ti_srv.module::AverageTargetedMonthlySearchesSearchParameter.new
        parameter2.operation =
ti_srv.module::LongComparisonOperation.new
        parameter2.operation.minimum = 0
        parameter2.operation.maximum = 100_000_000_000

        selector = ti_srv.module::TargetingIdeaSelector.new
        selector.searchParameters = [parameter1, parameter2]
        selector.requestedAttributeTypes =
["TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES","COMPETITION"]
        selector.ideaType = "KEYWORD"
        selector.requestType = "STATS"
        selector.localeCode = "en_US"
        selector.currencyCode = "USD"

For this keyword, the Average Targeted Monthly Searches Value returns
135,000, which makes sense  for the Japanese market but I am
specifying the US market. When I do the same search in the Keyword
Tool UI, I get 320 which makes much more sense as it is a foreign
keyword.

Is there a better way to get this data or is this a bug?
