What it does

Autocomplete shows what people actually type. This Actor sends each seed (and each expansion of it) to Google's public suggestion service and returns every suggestion as a row. It records where the suggestion came from, its position and relevance, and how it was found.

• 5 sources: Google web, YouTube, Google Shopping, Google News, Google Images.
• Expansions:
  • A–Z, as a suffix, a prefix or both.
  • 0–9.
  • Questions (who, what, how, can, is…).
  • Prepositions (for, with, near, vs…).
  • Comparisons (vs, alternative…).
  • Your own modifiers. Use {seed} as a placeholder, e.g. best {seed} 2026.
• Recursive depth (0–3): feed the suggestions back in as new seeds to go long-tail.
• Multi-locale: every language × country combination, e.g. en-US, en-AU, de-DE.
• Clean output:
  • Deduplication per locale and source, per source, globally, or none.
  • Exclude words; keep only keywords that contain the seed; cap the results.
  • Stray YouTube video IDs are filtered out.
• Rich fields: Google relevance score and suggestion type (query / entity / navigation), word and character counts, question flag, depth and parent keyword.
• Reliable:
  • Automatic retries with backoff and proxy-session rotation.
  • Optional switch to residential proxy after repeated blocks.
  • Bad input fails fast with a clear message, so you are never charged for garbage.

Use cases

• SEO keyword research and content briefs. Question expansion gives you FAQ and People-Also-Ask style topics.
• YouTube title, tag and video-idea research.
• Amazon/Shopping-style product keyword discovery (Google Shopping source).
• Local SEO, e.g. plumber wollongong + A–Z for the AU market.
• PPC negative-keyword and long-tail discovery.
• Trend monitoring: schedule it daily and diff the results.

Pricing (pay per event)

Event	Price
Keyword (one unique keyword in your dataset)	$0.00006 ($0.06 per 1,000)
Actor start	$0.00005 per GB of memory (set by Apify)

There are no per-query or per-run fees. A typical autocomplete request returns 7–10 keywords, so 1,000 requests cost about $0.45–0.60. The run stops cleanly at your maximum cost per run.

FAQ

How many keywords will I get? About 8 per request in our tests. One seed with A–Z expansion is 27 requests, so roughly 150–250 unique keywords. Depth 1 multiplies that again.

Do I need a proxy? Usually not. In our tests, 5,600+ requests in one run from a single datacenter IP all succeeded. A proxy and residential fallback are available for very large or repeated runs.

Why does a suggestion not contain my seed? Google sometimes corrects or broadens the query. Turn on Only keywords containing the seed to drop these.

Is search volume included? No. Autocomplete does not expose volumes. Use the output as input for a volume tool.

Which language/country codes? ISO 639-1 language codes (en, de, fr) and 2-letter ISO country codes (us, au, gb). Invalid codes stop the run before anything is charged.

Daily health check

The default/prefill input (coffee machine, Google + YouTube) finishes in about 5 seconds with 20+ keywords. The same input is in test_inputs/00_selftest.json.
