Hello Peter, Maybe the snippet below might help clarify what I meant.
*<?php// Before 10.1// ===========// Taken from https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/keyword-planning/generate-historical-metrics?hl=en#create_a_keyword_plan$keywordPlanResource = self::createKeywordPlan( $googleAdsClient, $customerId);$planCampaignResource = self::createKeywordPlanCampaign( $googleAdsClient, $customerId, $countryCode, // $languageCode, $keywordPlanResource);// ...$keywordPlanServiceClient = $googleAdsClient->getKeywordPlanServiceClient();$generateHistoricalMetricsResponse = $keywordPlanServiceClient->generateHistoricalMetrics( $keywordPlanResource);// After 10.1// ==========$keywordPlanIdeaServiceClient = $googleAdsClient->getKeywordPlanIdeaServiceClient();$generateHistoricalMetricsResponse = $keywordPlanIdeaServiceClient->generateKeywordHistoricalMetrics( [ 'customerId' => $googleAdsClient->getLoginCustomerId(), 'keywords' => $keywords ]);* Before 10.1, you needed to create a *KeywordPlan* to generate historical metrics, and you could specify the location and language parameters when creating a *KeywordPlanCampaign*. The 10.1 release introduced *generateKeywordHistoricalMetrics*, allowing historical metrics generation without the need for a *KeywordPlan*. As far as I can tell, there is no way to specify language and location parameters when calling *generateKeywordHistoricalMetrics*.
