RE: How to enable AverageCpcMicros on GenerateHistoricalMetrics in V11's KeywordPlanService?

[Bruce Axtens]

Hello Ernie

Thanks for the help. With what you suggested I was able to work out the code 
below. Sadly, it doesn’t do anything more than before. However, the associate 
documentation states that AverageCpc is deprecated.

Oh well.

Kind regards,
Bruce.

        public static (GenerateHistoricalMetricsResponse response, 
GoogleAdsException exception) GenerateHistoricalMetrics(GoogleAdsClient client, 
string plan)
        {
            KeywordPlanServiceClient kpServiceClient = 
client.GetService(Services.V11.KeywordPlanService);

            GenerateHistoricalMetricsRequest generateHistoricalMetricsRequest = 
new GenerateHistoricalMetricsRequest()
            {
                KeywordPlan = plan,
                HistoricalMetricsOptions = new 
Google.Ads.GoogleAds.V11.Common.HistoricalMetricsOptions() { IncludeAverageCpc 
= true },
                AggregateMetrics = new 
Google.Ads.GoogleAds.V11.Common.KeywordPlanAggregateMetrics()
            };
            try
            {
                var response = 
kpServiceClient.GenerateHistoricalMetrics(generateHistoricalMetricsRequest);
                return (response, null);
            }
            catch (GoogleAdsException e)
            {
                return (null, e);
            }

        }

Hi Bruce,

Thank you for providing more details to your concern. I am also a member of the 
Google Ads API team and let me provide support to your concern.

If you want to include the 
average_cpc_micros<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/KeywordPlanHistoricalMetrics#average_cpc_micros>
 in response, then as initially mentioned by my colleague (Carmela), you will 
need to set the 
include_average_cpc<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/HistoricalMetricsOptions#include_average_cpc>
 as true in the 
KeywordPlanService.GenerateHistoricalMetrics<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/KeywordPlanService#generatehistoricalmetrics>
 request. Please note that the 
historical_metrics_options<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/GenerateHistoricalMetricsRequest#historical_metrics_options>
 is an object of the 
KeywordPlanService.GenerateHistoricalMetrics<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/KeywordPlanService#generatehistoricalmetrics>
 not just by the keywords ideas. This is the configuration that is missing in 
your request so the average cpc is missing as well in the response.

Unfortunately, there is no sample code that illustrate setting of this field in 
KeywordPlanService.GenerateHistoricalMetrics<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/KeywordPlanService#generatehistoricalmetrics>.
 With this, I would suggest reaching out to the author of the .Net client 
library via this link<https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-dotnet/issues> to 
know how you can implement the said field in the 
KeywordPlanService.GenerateHistoricalMetrics<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v11/KeywordPlanService#generatehistoricalmetrics>.
 They are more equipped to provide support on code related concerns.
