Hi Gerard, The problem seems to be caused by having multiple countries targeted. I'll work with the core engineering team to get more information on whether that is supported. As a general FYI, if you are only using the TargetingIdeaService to get stats on known keywords then it is easier to use the STATS ideaType instead of IDEAS.
