Bulk Google Keyword Search Volume & CPC API

Bulk Google Keyword Search Volume & CPC API

Turn a supplied keyword list into a research-priority sheet before choosing topics to investigate. The Actor returns available Google Ads search volume, CPC and advertiser competition, with a heuristic score for sorting the list.

Live data requires a paid Apify plan, with DataForSEO access included and no separate provider account needed. The report price is a flat $0.25 per batch of up to 1,000 supplied keywords, not per keyword. A free-plan run leaves the dataset empty without live requests or report charges, regardless of a Try for free button label.

Start with one input

Open the Actor, replace the sample with your research target and inspect the Pricing tab. Set a run spending limit before execution. This input demonstrates the format, not a guaranteed finding:

{
  "keywords": [
    "best web scraping api"
  ],
  "marketPreset": "us_en"
}

Read the result before acting

Export the Keyword planning sheet or Keyword planning CSV, then add business relevance and a separate organic SERP review. CPC is not expected revenue, advertiser competition is not organic difficulty, and missing data can affect the score. The Actor does not generate keyword ideas or calculate financial ROI.

The one-keyword example shown above costs the same $0.25 report fee as a full batch. It demonstrates the input rather than a cheap per-keyword trial; the fixed fee is intended for bulk lists. A named market preset overrides advanced location/language codes.

Charges and source failures

For valid paid work, the report event is reserved before the provider request. An empty response or provider error can therefore occur after billing. Check the row’s status and RUN_SUMMARY before retrying; a failed lookup is not evidence that the target has no results, and a retry is a new paid request.

These are Actor event fees in addition to applicable Apify plan charges. Review source links and timestamps before making a decision, and do not interpret a heuristic score as a verified outcome.

Complete the task

Build a client keyword-prioritisation sheet for field explanations, output interpretation and export steps. For an existing automation, use the manual n8n-to-CSV workflow. Its spending cap and manual trigger are specific to that workflow; this Actor creates no schedule.
