SEMrush Keyword Research

Get comprehensive keyword data from SEMrush including search volume, keyword difficulty, CPC, SERP features, and related/phrase match keywords. BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) - use your SEMrush API key.

BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) -- you provide your own API credentials.


Before You Start

This actor requires your own API credentials to fetch real data.

Where to get your key: Your SEMrush API key. Get it from SEMrush → My Profile → API → Subscription Info

You can test with Demo Mode first (free, no key needed) to see the output format before committing.

{
"demoMode": true,

"seo tools"
]
}

"semrushApiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
"keywords": [
"seo tools"
],

"includePhraseMatch": true,

Troubleshooting

"API key is required"

You have Demo Mode turned off but didn't provide an API key. Either:

  • Turn Demo Mode on to test with sample data
  • Add your API key in the input

"API error 403" or "Unauthorized"

Your API key is invalid, expired, or doesn't have access to this specific API endpoint. Double-check your key and account permissions.

"API error 429" or "Rate limit"

Too many requests. Wait a minute and try again, or reduce the number of items per run.

No results or empty dataset

Check the run log for error messages. Common causes:

  • Invalid input format (check the examples above)
  • API key without proper permissions
  • The target data doesn't exist or is too small to track

How do I test without an API key?

Enable Demo Mode in the input. This returns realistic sample data so you can verify the output format works for your workflow.
