GetHistoricalKeywordPerformance Service Operation - Ad Insight

Gets the historical performance of the normalized search term. The results are aggregated by device type.

Request Elements

The GetHistoricalKeywordPerformanceRequest object defines the body and header elements of the service operation request. The elements must be in the same order as shown in the Request SOAP.

Note

Unless otherwise noted below, all request elements are required.

Request Body Elements

Element	Description	Data Type
Devices	A list of one or more of the following device types: Computers, NonSmartphones, Smartphones, Tablets. The default is Computers. The response includes keyword performance data for the device types that you specify only, if available. Used to determine a keyword's performance on the specified device types.	string array
Keywords	An array of keywords for which you want to get historical performance statistics. The array can contain a maximum of 1,000 keywords, and each keyword can contain a maximum of 100 characters.	string array
Language	The language in which the keywords are written. The countries/regions that you specify in the PublisherCountries element must support the specified language. Possible values include Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and TraditionalChinese.	string
MatchTypes	The match types for which you want to get historical data. You may not specify the Content match type.	MatchType array
PublisherCountries	The country codes of the countries/regions to use as the source of the historical data. You can specify one or more country codes. Each country/region that you specify must support the language specified in the Language element. The following language and country/region combinations are supported: Danish: DK Dutch: NL English: AU, CA, GB, ID, IN, MY, PH, SG, TH, US, VN Finnish: FI French: CA, FR German: AT, CH, DE Italian: IT Norwegian: NB Portuguese: BR Spanish: AR, CL, CO, ES, MX, PE, VE Swedish: SE TraditionalChinese: HK, TW If this element is null, then by default the service includes all countries/regions that support the specified language.	string array
TargetAdPosition	The position of the search results for which you want to get performance data. For example, to get performance data when ads appeared in the first position of the mainline by using the keyword and match type, set this element to MainLine1. To get performance data when ads appeared in any position of the search results by using the keyword and match type, set this element to All. The default value is All. If you specify All for this element, the service will return multiple results per keyword for each supported ad position. If you specify Aggregate, the service will return one aggregated result. Sidebar ads no longer serve on Bing owned and operated sites in the United States. If you only request first page data e.g., FirstPage1 for the United States (US), then the KeywordKPIs element in the result will be nil/empty. If you include additional countries/regions e.g., US and CA in the same request, then any first page results are only attributed to countries/regions outside the United States.	AdPosition
TimeInterval	The time period that identifies the data to use to determine the key performance index of the specified keywords. For example, use data from the previous seven days or previous 30 days to determine the keyword performance. The default value is LastDay.	TimeInterval

Request Header Elements

Element	Description	Data Type
AuthenticationToken	The OAuth access token that represents the credentials of a user who has permissions to Microsoft Advertising accounts. For more information see Authentication with OAuth.	string
CustomerAccountId	The identifier of the ad account that owns or is associated with the entities in the request. This header element must have the same value as the AccountId body element when both are required. This element is required for most service operations, and as a best practice you should always set it. For more information see Get Your Account and Customer IDs.	string
CustomerId	The identifier of the manager account (customer) the user is accessing or operating from. A user can have access to multiple manager accounts. This element is required for most service operations, and as a best practice you should always set it. For more information see Get Your Account and Customer IDs.	string
DeveloperToken	The developer token used to access the Bing Ads API. For more information see Get a Developer Token.	string
Password	This element is reserved for internal use and will be removed from a future version of the API. You must use the AuthenticationToken element to set user credentials.	string
UserName	This element is reserved for internal use and will be removed from a future version of the API. You must use the AuthenticationToken element to set user credentials.	string

Response Elements

The GetHistoricalKeywordPerformanceResponse object defines the body and header elements of the service operation response. The elements are returned in the same order as shown in the Response SOAP.

Response Body Elements

Element	Description	Data Type
KeywordHistoricalPerformances	An array of KeywordHistoricalPerformance data objects. The array contains an item for each keyword, device, match type, and ad position specified in the request. If the keyword is not valid or has no data available, the corresponding item in the array will be null.	KeywordHistoricalPerformance array

Response Header Elements

Element	Description	Data Type
TrackingId	The identifier of the log entry that contains the details of the API call.	string
