Does anyone use the Google Adwords API?

Hello all,

I have been using the Google Adwords API for sometime, and i am starting to suspect that i have made an assumption.

Does anyone know if the 'GetKeywordVariations' returns keywords in order of relevance?

Comparing various keywords and their results with the Adwords website equivalent and I am seeing many differences.

+2  A: 

According to the Google API doc:

EDIT: (the page I linked to, has more than one method described):

Given a list of SeedKeywords, returns their variations in multiple lists within KeywordVariations. Each list represents a different kind of variation.

Are you using the latest version of the API?

There are two distinct keyword variation methods. One, which you are referring to is the 'getKeywordsFromSite' where it clearly states it returns the keywords in order of relevance.

'getKeywordVariations' on the other hand does not mention order signifcance. And in my experience it doesn't seem to be returning the keywords in any particular order that i can descern

Yes latests version is being used. I have posted to the offical google ADWords group - but getting an answer there is pretty much impossible
