Hello All,
Should I get Results same as UI using TrafficEstimatorService, If yes,
How I can get Top Estimated results like clicks, impressions, cost etc..
which is set under daily forecast and there predictions
like
Clicks
185 – 226
Is this value possible using API?
Also Is all platform (Mobile, Desktop, Tablets) supported using API?
I am asking this because using API I can get Keywords Estimates but not
generic estimates shown at top under UI.
Thanks
