Google Ads Keyword Scraper

What does it do?

Google Ads Keyword Scraper extracts keyword suggestions and search data from Google Autocomplete and related searches. It takes your seed keywords and expands them into hundreds of long-tail keyword variations by querying Google's suggestion API with alphabet expansions.

This actor is ideal for SEO professionals, content marketers, and PPC advertisers who need comprehensive keyword research data without expensive third-party tools. It provides search volume estimates, competition levels, and keyword classifications to help you prioritize your content and advertising strategy.

The scraper works by sending each seed keyword through Google's autocomplete endpoint, then expanding with alphabet prefixes (a-z) to uncover hidden long-tail opportunities that most keyword tools miss. Results include the keyword text, estimated search volume, competition level, word count, and the seed keyword it was derived from.

Why use this actor?

• Get hundreds of keyword ideas from just a few seed keywords
