Hi, we implemented TargetingIdeaService for v201206. In this version we can't specify keyword match type and the returned results are for the Exact match type of the keyword. But the results returned by API are different from the results in Keyword Tool interface. Here are examples:
Keyword: baum Language: DE Country: Germany Targeted Search Volume (according to Keyword Tool): 22 200 Targeted Search Volume (via API): n/a for the last month (09.2012), 18100 for August 2012, 18100 for July 2012. I tried calculating the average volume of the returned results. I summed the results and I divided the result by 12 as 12 results are returned. The result is ~20892. Also I divided the sum of all values by 11 (as the result for last must is n/a) and the result is ~22791. Both results are closer to the interface value, but still not equal. Also I get as result for the last month the result for august 2012 and I divided the sum of all results by 12. The result is 22 400, witch is different from the result in Keyword Tool interface. SEARCH_VOLUME (via API): 33 100 With v201109 we had AVERAGE_TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES which would equal the results in the interface. According to this link https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/migration-v201206 the new SEARCH_VOLUME is equivalent to AVERAGE_TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES if language and/or location is specified. But SEARCH_VOLUME returns some absolutely different result - 33 100. Another example: Keyword: katze Language: DE Country: Germany Targeted Search Volume (according to Keyword Tool): 40 500 Targeted Search Volume (via API): 33 100 Could you please help me understand how to get the same results with v201206? Thank you in advance!
