The forecast period must be within one day from today (e.g., tomorrow) to
within one year from
today:
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v15/GenerateKeywordForecastMetricsRequest
So when you were testing on 2023-10-25 the last date you could have
requested was 2024-10-24.
I've tested this today, 2023-10-30. If I put in these parameters –
start_date='2023-10-31',
end_date='2024-10-29'– the API call returns valid results. This is the
maximum forecast period possible.
If I put in these parameters – start_date='2023-10-31',
end_date='2024-10-30' – the API call returns the same error you got:
GoogleAdsException: (<_InactiveRpcError of RPC that terminated with:
status = StatusCode.INVALID_ARGUMENT
details = "Request contains an invalid argument."
debug_error_string = "UNKNOWN:Error received from peer
ipv4:xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:xxx {grpc_message:"Request contains an invalid
argument.", grpc_status:3, created_time:"2023-10-30T08:48:01.000000+08:00"}"

>, errors {

}
message: "The end time is invalid."
location {
field_path_elements {
field_name: "forecast_period"
}
}
}
request_id: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
, 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx')
It doesn't matter even if you put in a shorter period, the end date must be
one day less than a year from now, e.g., if I put in start_date='2024-10-25',
end_date='2024-10-31' to get the last week of October 2024 it returns the
same end time is invalid error.
Hope this helps,
D.H.
