Etsy Keyword Research Tool — Autosuggest, Competition & Price Data

Find the exact search terms real buyers type on Etsy, then see how competitive each one is. Give the actor a few seed keywords and it expands them into Etsy's own autosuggest terms — each enriched with the number of competing listings and the live price range sellers are charging. Built for Etsy SEO, listing optimization, and niche discovery. No API key, no Etsy login required.

Pricing

This actor uses the Pay Per Event model — you are billed per keyword row returned. A typical run of 5 seeds × 25 keywords = ~125 rows. With competition data off, runs are faster and cheaper.

Scheduling & Automation

Run on a schedule to track how competition changes over time:

1. Open your run → Schedule tab and set a CRON expression (e.g. 0 9 * * 1 for every Monday 9am).
2. Add a webhook to POST new keyword data to your endpoint or Google Sheet.

Or trigger via API:

FAQ

Does this need an Etsy API key? No. It uses Etsy's public autosuggest and search data — no key or login.

Where do the keywords come from? Directly from Etsy's own search autosuggest, so they reflect real buyer searches.

What does competition_level mean? A bucket based on competing listing count: low (<1k), medium (<10k), high (<100k), very_high (≥100k).

Can I disable the price/competition lookup? Yes — turn off Include Competition & Price Data for faster, cheaper runs that return keywords only.

Which countries and currencies are supported? Any Etsy ship-to country code and currency (US/USD by default).
