Re: API returns me 0 results for keyword 'sport' (with Italian parameters)

Hi Biagio,

Apologies for the delay. I tried this search in AdWords frontend and got back the same result (0 for sports, 480 for sportivo), so I don't think this an API issue per se. Also, it seems an appropriate result for me, since "sport" is an English word, and hence you wouldn't get any results back if you were to search for traffic estimates with Location = Italy and Language = Italian.

Cheers,
Anash P. Oommen,
