Dear Google Ads API Support Team, I am currently working on a proof-of-concept (POC) that leverages the *Keyword Planning API* to generate keyword ideas and forecast metrics. While implementing this, I came across the following challenge and would like clarification:
- In *API v21+*, the KeywordPlanIdeaService.generate_keyword_forecast_metrics method only returns *campaign-level aggregated forecasts* (impressions, clicks, CPC, spend). - In earlier versions (≤v20), we were able to obtain *per-keyword forecast metrics* using KeywordPlanService.generate_forecast_metrics, but this functionality was deprecated around v14 and fully removed in v21 (June 2023). Given this change, I have the following questions: 1. *Is there any alternative or recommended approach* to obtain *per-keyword forecast metrics* in the current API versions? 2. If not available, does Google have plans to reintroduce per-keyword forecasts in future releases? 3. From a best-practice perspective, how should developers now handle scenarios where keyword-level forecasts are critical (e.g., campaign planning, bid optimization)? My goal is to understand whether there is a supported solution or workaround for per-keyword forecasts, or if we should adapt to using only campaign-level aggregated forecasts going forward. I appreciate your guidance on this matter.
