Hey everyone,
I'm trying to get Google Keyword Planner data via the API.
I was testing out the API by running the following sample code:
https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords/v201506/optimization/get_keyword_ideas.py
and got some strange results.
1) The value printed out for the "average monthly search volume" would be
extremely large.
There would also be instances where the value is negative. Here are some
examples of what would be printed out:
Keyword with 'shoes 6fd3b0af' text and average monthly search volume
'33020504984656068' was found with Products and Services categories: [14,
18, 31] and competition: 0.558373092124 and targeted monthly search:
(MonthlySearchVolume){
year = 2015
month = 7
count = 1456100485174689955
}.
Keyword with 'shoes a7228d62' text and average monthly search volume
'-519776553922101760' was found with Products and Services categories: [24,
44, 6] and competition: 0.242652705782 and targeted monthly search:
(MonthlySearchVolume){
year = 2015
month = 7
count = -6598600991968799443
}.
I was wondering if anyone can explain to me what these values actually
mean. These values seem to be coming from the 'SEARCH_VOLUME' attribute of
the API.
2) I also came across the 'Targeted Monthly Search' attribute and am
curious to know the difference between that attribute and the Search Volume
attribute.
The sample code seems to label the Search Volume attribute as the "average
monthly search volume" but the 'Targeted Monthly Search' also seems to give
the average monthly search volume for the past 12 months. The values
printed for both attributes don't match up, so I'm wondering if there is
any connection
between the two.
3) The keyword text printed from the sample code seems to print some id
after the actual keyword, like: 'shoes c5aa3043'. Does anyone know what
this id actually
ties to?
4) Lastly, is the 'Breakdown by Device' section that's available on the
Google Keyword Planner front-end also available via the API?
Thanks so much.
