Google Autocomplete Keyword Suggestions Scraper

Extract live Google Autocomplete keyword suggestions from seed terms and turn them into a clean dataset for SEO, content planning, paid search, product research, and market demand analysis.

This Actor is unofficial and is not affiliated with Google.

Why Use It

Google Autocomplete reflects what people are actively searching for while they type. This Actor helps you turn that demand signal into structured keyword ideas you can export, analyze, cluster, or feed into your SEO and advertising workflows.

Use it to:

• discover long-tail keyword ideas from a few seed terms;
• plan blog posts, landing pages, comparison pages, and FAQ sections;
• research buyer intent around products, tools, brands, and categories;
• expand paid search keyword lists before campaign setup;
• monitor how Google suggestions change around a market, brand, or topic.

What You Get

Each result is a normalized keyword suggestion with the seed keyword, generated query, suggestion text, source, and collection timestamp.

{
  "seedKeyword": "apify",
  "query": "apify",
  "suggestion": "apify api",
  "weight": 1,
  "source": "google_autocomplete",
  "collectedAt": "2026-07-01T00:00:00+00:00"
}

The run also stores an OUTPUT summary with the run status, number of requested queries, successful queries, failed queries, pushed items, and structured errors if any query fails.

  "seedKeywords": ["apify", "web scraping"],
  "expansionMode": "none",
  "maxQueries": 50,
  "maxSuggestionsPerQuery": 20,
  "deduplicate": true
}

Input Fields

• seedKeywords: Base terms, brands, products, categories, or topics to research.
• expansionMode: Controls how seed keywords are turned into autocomplete lookups.

Expansion Modes

Exact keyword discovery

Long-tail alphabet expansion

Set expansionMode to alphabet to generate lookups such as crm software a, crm software b, and so on.

Best for long-tail SEO research, product/category keyword expansion, and finding phrases that are easy to miss with a single seed query.

{
  "seedKeywords": ["crm software"],
  "expansionMode": "alphabet",
  "maxQueries": 10,
  "maxSuggestionsPerQuery": 10,
  "deduplicate": true
}

Buyer and research questions

Set expansionMode to questions to generate research and commercial-intent lookups such as what is keyword, how to keyword, best keyword, and keyword alternatives.

Best for comparison pages, FAQ content, buyer journey research, and paid search idea generation.

{
  "seedKeywords": ["web scraping api"],
  "expansionMode": "questions",
  "maxQueries": 8,
  "maxSuggestionsPerQuery": 10,

How To Use

1. Enter one or more seed keywords.
2. Choose an expansion mode.
3. Keep maxQueries small for quick checks or raise it for broader research.
4. Run the Actor.
5. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect it to your workflow through the Apify API.

Practical Tips

• Use none for a fast first pass.
• Use alphabet when you need broad long-tail coverage.
• Use questions when you are planning content that answers buyer and research intent.
• Keep deduplicate enabled when you want a clean keyword list.
• Disable deduplicate only when you need to see the same suggestion appearing under multiple generated queries.

Limits And Notes

• Suggestions can vary by time, location, language, and Google's current behavior.
• The Actor returns autocomplete suggestions, not search volume or ranking difficulty.
• Very broad seed keywords can produce generic suggestions; specific seed terms usually produce more actionable results.
• Failed lookups are reported in OUTPUT.errors instead of being silently ignored.
