Targeting Idea Service Empty results

Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:16:34 -0700 

Hi,
Recently I have started seeing that output returned by Targeting Idea 
Service (<requestType>STATS</requestType>) doesn't match the input count. 
Previously, the output count and input count always used to be same even if 
there was not data for some specific keywords.
Below is the soap request and response. Can you please advice if there has 
been a recent change in api that I might have missed? or if there is 
something else that I need to do..
In the below example if you will see that I am giving keywords which are 
associated with Canada, however I am passing location as USA. Even then I 
am very sure that previously it used to return me results with empty 
values. Input count was always equal to output count.
