## Changelog

### 0.1.14 to 0.1.16 (2026-10-23)

- New: SERP features. `serp_features` lists the result types on Google's first page (AI Overview, featured snippet, People Also Ask, local pack, video, shopping...) and `serp_url` links to the search checked. On by default (`includeSerpInfo`), at no extra cost.
- New: `core_keyword`, the main form of each group of close variants, to cluster keywords.
- New ideas methods (`ideasMethod`): `suggestions` (long-tail phrases that contain the seed) and `related` (Google's related searches), with `seed_keyword` on each row.
- New filters for ideas and domain modes: `includeTerms`, `excludeTerms`, and `minPosition` / `maxPosition` in domain mode (for example positions 4 to 20 for striking-distance keywords). Filters run at the source, so keywords left out are never charged.
- New: `sortBy` (search volume, CPC, easiest first, traffic or position).
- Domain mode takes up to 10 websites in one run (`domains`); `maxIdeas` applies per website.

### 0.1.12 (2026-10-23)

- New: AI search volume. `ai_search_volume` and `ai_monthly_searches` show how often each keyword comes up in AI assistants such as ChatGPT, from DataForSEO's AI keyword data. On by default (`includeAiVolume`), at no extra cost, and `null` where DataForSEO has no AI data. If that data is unavailable, rows are still delivered without it.

### 0.1.10 and 0.1.11 (2026-10-23)

- Store listing refresh and this changelog. No change to the data or the price.

### 0.1.9 (2026-10-22)

- README: what you can use it for, a Google Keyword Planner question, and the full list of supported countries.

### 0.1.8 (2026-10-22)

- New domain mode: the keywords any website or page ranks for on Google, with its position, the ranking URL and estimated traffic.
- Every country Google Ads serves, by ISO code or by country name in English or French. 94 countries get every metric; the others get Google Ads metrics.
- CPC and bids are rounded to 2 decimals.

### 0.1.5 (2026-10-22)

- Runs started from free Apify accounts process up to 20 keywords.

### 0.1.4 (2026-10-22)

- First public version in Apify Store.
- Clearer messages when the data provider refuses a request. Nothing is charged in that case.

### 0.1.1 (2026-10-19)

- First version: metrics for up to 10,000 keywords per run (search volume, 12-month history, CPC, competition, bids, keyword difficulty, search intent and trend) and keyword ideas from seed keywords.
