Get keyword search volume

Get keyword search volume

Returns monthly search volume, competition and bid data for up to 1,000 keywords, from Google Ads data.

Note: A live endpoint, so it returns results in this one call rather than a task to poll; capped at 12 requests per minute per account.

Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

API (official)

• Base URL: https://api.dataforseo.com/v3
• Endpoint: POST /keywords_data/google_ads/search_volume/live
• Auth: send the header Authorization: Basic $DATAFORSEO_API_KEY
• Get a key: https://app.dataforseo.com/register
• Docs: https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3

Note: DATAFORSEO_API_KEY holds the base64 of login:password from your DataForSEO account.

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

Rules

• Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
• Never print API keys.
