Hi, I answered a similar question on another post<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/adwords-api/R5OLBBtTlwA/FjK0sgTURPMJ> -- could you take a look at my response there to see if it addresses your question?
If that doesn't clear things up, please send the following details *only to me* by clicking *Reply to Author* so I can investigate further: 1. The account IDs you are using in your API requests 2. The request XML 3. The response XML 4. A screenshot of the options you have selected in the Keyword Planner Tool 5. A screenshot of the results from the Keyword Planner Tool I realize this is a lot of info to gather, but due to the complexity and flexibility of both the Keyword Planner Tool and the TrafficEstimatorService, I need as many details as possible to find the possible sources of differences between the tool and the API.
