Setting Live ‘Bing Ads Audience Estimation’ Tasks

This endpoint provides estimated audience size for an ad campaign based on specified targeting criteria. It returns data on the total estimated audience, such as suggested bid and budget for an ad campaign and estimated engagement metrics.

If your system requires delivering instant results, the Live method is the best solution for you. Unlike the Standard method, this method doesn’t require making separate POST and GET requests to the corresponding endpoints.

If you don’t need to receive data in real-time, you can use the Standard method of data retrieval. This method requires making separate POST and GET requests, but it’s more affordable. Using this method you can retrieve the results after our system collects them.

Instead of ‘login’ and ‘password’ use your credentials from https://app.dataforseo.com/api-access

<?php
// You can download this file from here https://cdn.dataforseo.com/v3/examples/php/php_RestClient.zip
require('RestClient.php');
$api_url = 'https://api.dataforseo.com/';
// Instead of 'login' and 'password' use your credentials from https://app.dataforseo.com/api-access
$client = new RestClient($api_url, null, 'login', 'password');

$post_array = array();
// simple way to set a task
$post_array[] = array(
	"location_code" =gt; 2840,	
	"bid" =gt; 10
);
try {
	// POST /v3/keywords_data/bing/audience_estimation/live
	// the full list of possible parameters is available in documentation
	$result = $client-gt;post('/v3/keywords_data/bing/audience_estimation/live', $post_array);
	print_r($result);
	// do something with post result
} catch (RestClientException $e) {
	echo "\n";
	print "HTTP code: {$e-gt;getHttpCode()}\n";
	print "Error code: {$e-gt;getCode()}\n";
	print "Message: {$e-gt;getMessage()}\n";
	print  $e-gt;getTraceAsString();
	echo "\n";
}
$client = null;
?>

The above command returns JSON structured like this:
