Hello Ernie
Thanks for the help. With what you suggested I was able to work out the code
below. Sadly, it doesn’t do anything more than before. However, the associate
documentation states that AverageCpc is deprecated.
Oh well.
Kind regards,
Bruce.
public static (GenerateHistoricalMetricsResponse response,
GoogleAdsException exception) GenerateHistoricalMetrics(GoogleAdsClient client,
string plan)
{
KeywordPlanServiceClient kpServiceClient =
client.GetService(Services.V11.KeywordPlanService);
GenerateHistoricalMetricsRequest generateHistoricalMetricsRequest =
new GenerateHistoricalMetricsRequest()
{
KeywordPlan = plan,
HistoricalMetricsOptions = new
Google.Ads.GoogleAds.V11.Common.HistoricalMetricsOptions() { IncludeAverageCpc
= true },
AggregateMetrics = new
Google.Ads.GoogleAds.V11.Common.KeywordPlanAggregateMetrics()
};
try
{
var response =
kpServiceClient.GenerateHistoricalMetrics(generateHistoricalMetricsRequest);
return (response, null);
}
catch (GoogleAdsException e)
{
return (null, e);
}
}

Subject: RE: How to enable AverageCpcMicros on GenerateHistoricalMetrics in
V11's KeywordPlanService?
Hi Bruce,
Thank you for providing more details to your concern. I am also a member of the
Google Ads API team and let me provide support to your concern.
If you want to include the
average_cpc_micros<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/KeywordPlanHistoricalMetrics#average_cpc_micros>
in response, then as initially mentioned by my colleague (Carmela), you will
need to set the
include_average_cpc<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/HistoricalMetricsOptions#include_average_cpc>
as true in the
KeywordPlanService.GenerateHistoricalMetrics<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/KeywordPlanService#generatehistoricalmetrics>
request. Please note that the
historical_metrics_options<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/GenerateHistoricalMetricsRequest#historical_metrics_options>
is an object of the
KeywordPlanService.GenerateHistoricalMetrics<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/KeywordPlanService#generatehistoricalmetrics>
not just by the keywords ideas. This is the configuration that is missing in
your request so the average cpc is missing as well in the response.
Unfortunately, there is no sample code that illustrate setting of this field in
KeywordPlanService.GenerateHistoricalMetrics<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/KeywordPlanService#generatehistoricalmetrics>.
With this, I would suggest reaching out to the author of the .Net client
library via this link<https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-dotnet/issues> to
know how you can implement the said field in the
KeywordPlanService.GenerateHistoricalMetrics<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/KeywordPlanService#generatehistoricalmetrics>.
They are more equipped to provide support on code related concerns.
