Hi, I get the same result you described if I go into the *Keyword Planner* tool in the UI. That is, I get no stats for the exact phrases you mentioned. According to the *Keyword Planner* documentation, this is happening because there isn't sufficient volume for those phrases.
However, if you change the requestType <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/TargetingIdeaService.TargetingIdeaSelector#requestType> of your request to *IDEAS*, then you'll get ideas for related keywords along with the volume of each of those keywords.
