Get ‘Ads Traffic By Keywords’ Results by id

 

Please note that starting from June 1, Google Ad Traffic By Keywords returns bulk data for the entire campaign (all keywords specified when setting a task). You can learn more in this update.

 
Note that Google Ads Keywords Data API is based on the latest version of the Google Ads API that has replaced legacy Google AdWords API. If you’re using DataForSEO Google AdWords API, you need to upgrade to DataForSEO Google Ads API.

Using the Ad Traffic By Keywords endpoint, you can receive a set of stats for estimating impressions, CPC, and clicks. This data is really useful for estimating real demand for a specific keyword, as it is much more accurate than the regular search volume information, which shows the broad match estimation for a group of similar keywords.

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