hi Eric, Can you confirm :
- The purpose of getKeywordsVariation is to give a list of keywords near the seed requested (keywords ideas for EVALUATION), - The web based tools and trend must be used to obtain volumetric data and cost, * Why not to extend api with new function based on getKeywordsVariation model for : - fill the api's functionnal hole and qualify the cost of API unit, - make it possible to obtain qualified volumetric data : - on desired seed, - on desired target (Large, phrase, broad, country, language...) This getKeywordsStatistics function is a dream....
