You can receive a set of keyword performance stats for a group of keywords depending on the specified match type, location and language parameters. Ad position, clicks, impressions, and other keyword metrics are aggregated for the last month for one or all of the following device types: mobile, desktop, tablet.
Generally, Bing provides the updated data after the 3rd day of a month. For example, if you request keyword data on August 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, and data for July is not available yet, you will receive the data for June. After the 4th day of a month when the update is completed by Bing, the month field in the result array will indicate that data is already provided for the previous calendar month.
You will get information separately for each keyword specified in a POST array.
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 the Standard method 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.
