## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### 📌 Overview

The **SEO Keyword Scraper Actor** is a powerful data extraction tool designed for marketers, developers, and SEO professionals. By entering a single seed keyword, this Actor gathers high-value search queries, long-tail variations, and question-based keywords to power your content strategy and search engine visibility.

Use it for keyword research, topical clustering, programmatic SEO, and **Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)** without paying for expensive SEO suites.

***

### 🚀 Key Features

- **Seed Keyword Expansion:** Turn one seed into hundreds of related long-tail ideas via Google Autocomplete.
- **Alphabet Expansion:** Query `seed + a` … `seed + z` (optional `0`–`9`) for deep coverage beyond the first 8–12 suggestions.
- **Relevance Scores:** Keep Google’s suggest relevance values when available for ranking ideas.
- **Language & Country Bias:** Control `hl` (language) and `gl` (country) for localized suggestions.
- **Multi-Seed Runs:** Process many seeds in one job with concurrent workers.
- **Clean Linear JSON:** One row per keyword—ready for CSV, Excel, pipelines, or other Apify actors.
- **High-Speed & Scalable:** Powered by Apify’s cloud infrastructure with automatic proxy rotation to prevent rate limits.

### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

#### What is a Related Keywords Finder Actor?

An SEO Keyword Scraper Actor is an automated tool hosted on Apify that extracts related keywords, search volumes, and user search queries based on a single seed term and returns related search suggestions—typically via Google Autocomplete—so you can expand SEO and AEO keyword lists without manual typing.

#### How does alphabet expansion work?

A single autocomplete call often returns only ~8–12 ideas. With **alphabet expansion**, the Actor also queries `seed a`, `seed b`, … `seed z` (and optionally `0`–`9`), then merges and deduplicates all suggestions for much larger lists.

#### How does this support Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

The Actor extracts long-tail, question-based search queries (e.g., "how to choose keywords for seo"). Targeting these natural language questions helps optimize content for AI search engines, voice assistants, and Google Featured Snippets.

#### Does this return search volume, CPC, or keyword difficulty?

No. This Actor focuses on **related keyword discovery and expansion** from Google Autocomplete. Volume, CPC, and difficulty require separate SEO data providers.

#### Can I run multiple seeds at once?

Yes. Pass an array in `keywords`. Seeds can run concurrently (controlled by `MAX_THREADS`).

#### Can I integrate this into an automated pipeline?

Yes. You can trigger this Actor programmatically using the Apify API, Python SDK, Node.js SDK, or webhooks.

#### Will results change by country or language?

Yes. Set `country` (`gl`) and `language` (`hl`) to bias suggestions (e.g. `in` + `en` for India-focused English queries).

***

### ⚡ Performance Notes

| Mode | Approx. requests per seed |
| :---------------------- | :------------------------ |
| No expansion | ~1 |
| Alphabet `a`–`z` | ~27 |
| Alphabet + digits `0`–`9` | ~37 |

Throughput depends on proxy limits and Google response times. Retries apply on transient failures; HTTP 404 on a query is skipped cleanly.

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
