I am making a request for historical data using the
GenerateHistoricalMetrics method on the Services.V11.KeywordPlanService
service. In the results that are returned the HasAverageCpcMicros field is
false and therefore there is nothing but zero in AverageCpcMicros. What do
I have to add to my KeywordPlan to enable this value?
For reference, my sources are publicly available on github
<https://github.com/axtens/Plugin_GoogleAds_Metrics>, and a full trace log
and the output JSON are attached.
