Hi, Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.
After reviewing your concern, I understand that you are observing the data discrepancy in the values of Keyword Planner between the Google Ads UI and the API. Please find the answers for your questions below: 1. Could you please confirm which seed type (KeywordSeed, KeywordAndUrlSeed, etc.) corresponds to this functionality in the API? I would suggest you to use UrlSeed for the URL of a webpage or entire website related to your business. The URL seed targets only a specific URL. If there are no hits, the search automatically expands up to the pages from the same domain. 2. Are there any additional fields or parameters I should pass in the GenerateKeywordIdeasRequest to better align API results with what is shown in the UI? I would suggest you to exactly match the API and UI with all the filters mentioned in this link. 3. Could you please confirm whether this relevance score is available through the API, and if not, is there any alternative metric or approach recommended to approximate it? Kindly note that the relevance score (like 99, 94, 89) displayed in the Google Ads UI's Keyword Planner is not directly available through the Google Ads API. You can see that there is no field for "relevance score" in KeywordPlanIdeaService.GenerateKeywordIdeas. If you still face descripancies after following the above suggestions, kindly provide us with the complete API logs (request and response logs with request-id and request header) generated at your end along with the corresponding uncropped UI screenshot (from Google Ads account) highlighting the keywords generated. If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.
