Google Ads Status


By calling this endpoint, you will know if Google updated keyword data for the previous month. Generally, Google updates keyword data in the middle of the month. So, if Google updated its data in October, you would be able to see the actual search volume, cost-per-click, competition, and other metrics for September. If Google didn’t update its data in October, the latest information would be available for August.

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

<?php
// You can download this file from here https://cdn.dataforseo.com/v3/examples/php/php_RestClient.zip
require('RestClient.php');

try {
	// Instead of 'login' and 'password' use your credentials from https://app.dataforseo.com/api-dashboard
	$client = new RestClient($api_url, null, 'login', 'password');
} catch (RestClientException $e) {
	echo "n";
	print "HTTP code: {$e->getHttpCode()}n";
	print "Error code: {$e->getCode()}n";
	print "Message: {$e->getMessage()}n";
	print  $e->getTraceAsString();
	echo "n";
	exit();
}
try {
	// using this method you can get the Google Ads status
	// GET /v3/keywords_data/google_ads/status
	$result = $client->get('/v3/keywords_data/google_ads/status');
	print_r($result);
	// do something with result
} catch (RestClientException $e) {
	echo "n";
	print "HTTP code: {$e->getHttpCode()}n";
	print "Error code: {$e->getCode()}n";
