Hi Sebby,
Unfortunately, the response of the *TargetingIdeaService* cannot be broken
down into states, DMAs, counties, cities and others just like in the UI
where you can easily see the top 10 US cities or US counties or whatever
location which have the highest search volume for particular keywords.
Kindly refer to this link
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/targeting-idea-service#process_the_response>
to see sample response for this service.
If you want to get the forecast for specific keywords based on the
location, you may use the location criterion in CampaignEstimateRequest
.criteria
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/TrafficEstimatorService.CampaignEstimateRequest#criteria>
and
set the corresponding ID of the location (corresponding IDs of specific
locations can be seen in downloadable file provided in this link
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/geotargeting#download_geo_target_csv_file>).
However, the response of this service cannot be also broken down into
states, DMAs, counties, cities and etc.
With regards to your last question about the *TargetingIdeaService*, you
would need to create different API call for each of the location criteria
to determine which location has the highest search volume.
Please let me know if you have further questions.
Regards,
Ejay

Hi there!
For some context, my purpose is to find the highest impressions in the US
for a specified keyword. Let's say "candy". So I want to find the top 10 US
cities or US counties or whatever that have the highest search volume for
"candy".
In the keyword planning tool I have the capability to set the overall
location of interest (United States) and look at the Locations tab, split
by location type (states, DMAs, counties, cities, etc.) and order by
Impressions to find the top 10. This way, I can easily find the top
counties/cities etc. that search for the target keyword
I've been trying to use the TargetingIdeaService to get similar results but
I'm having trouble with reproducing the Keyword Planner capabilities.
Looking at this documentation
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/TargetingIdeaService.TargetingIdeaSelector>
it
seems that anything geolocation-related can't be returned as part of the
requestedAttributeTypes.
I also noticed that the Locations tab actually shows Location Forecasts, so
should I be hitting a different API? Like the TrafficEstimator? But that
didn't seem to offer the capability either.
Ultimately, I want the keywords and search volume provided by
TargetingIdeaService with the capability to get top N cities or counties
within a country of interest. Is that something easily done? Or will I have
to loop through each location criteria id of interest (e.g. all counties in
the US) and hit the TargetingIdeaService every time?
Thank you!
