Hi team,
I'm trying to figure out this issue with the Keyword plan idea service.
Would really appreciate some help here.
Certain search terms successfully return data when queried individually but
fail to appear in the response when included in batch requests.
What I have tested:
1. Individual request testing
- Search term "porsche leasing" (this is an example) queried
individually returns complete data.
2. Batch processing tests
- Initial large batch processing (1000-20000 terms) showed missing data
(the service does not return the data for the keywords where it DOES return
the data in the individual request testing, like "porsche leasing").
- Reduced batch sizes still exhibited the same issue.
-
- Reduced dataset to 57 terms
- API returned 48/57 results (~84% success rate)
- Key terms like "porsche leasing" still missing in the data.
3. Running another test using the exact same batch processing code but
with only "porsche leasing" as input:
- This does work, and provides all the complete data just as in the
single request
- Confirms the code and request structure are correctIy
- 4. I compared individual vs. batch requests:
Individual Request: - keywords: ['porsche leasen'] - geo_target_constants:
['geoTargetConstants/2528'] - All other parameters identical Batch Request:
- keywords: [multiple terms including 'porsche leasing'] -
geo_target_constants: ['geoTargetConstants/2528'] - All other parameters
identical
So to summarize:
1. The API request structure works perfectly when:
- Processing single keyword individually
- Processing single keyword through batch method
2. The issue only appears when:
- Multiple keywords are included in batch request
- Approximately 15-20% of terms consistently missing
- Same terms consistently missing across multiple runs
3. No error messages are returned for missing terms
4. Rate limiting is not the cause (confirmed by single keyword batch
test)
What I really do not understand/ am confused about:
1. The same keyword works perfectly in individual requests
2. The same keyword works perfectly when it's the only term in a batch
request
3. The same keyword consistently fails when part of a larger batch
4. Request parameters are identical between successful and unsuccessful
attempts
5. No error messages or indications of why terms are missing
