Ad group and keyword forecasts being removed in the Google Ads API

We are announcing that KeywordPlanAdGroupForecast and KeywordPlanKeywordForecast will be deprecated in the Google Ads API. This change will be effective on June 1, 2023.

Starting June 1, the GenerateForecastMetricsRequest will still be used to fetch forecasts, but the KeywordPlanAdGroupForecast and KeywordPlanKeywordForecast will be empty. The KeywordPlanCampaignForecast will be returned as usual.


If you are using KeywordPlanAdGroupForecast or KeywordPlanKeywordForecast in your applications, update your applications to ensure that they can handle blank responses.

We recommend that you start updating your applications as soon as possible. You can find more information about how to use KeywordPlanCampaignForecast in the Google Ads API documentation.

Please contact us on our forum or at googleadsapi-support@google.com if you have any questions.
