Google Autocomplete Scraper — Long-Tail Keywords, Questions & Relevance Scores

Turn a handful of seed keywords into hundreds of long-tail keyword ideas from Google Autocomplete. This Actor expands each seed with alphabet-soup, question and preposition modifiers, and returns clean, structured JSON, CSV, Excel or XML — deduplicated and sorted by Google's relevance score. No account, no API key — fast and reliable, made for SEO specialists, content marketers and PPC teams.

What does the Google Autocomplete Scraper do?

The Google Autocomplete Scraper takes your seed keywords and returns the suggestions Google shows as you type, expanded across the alphabet, question words and prepositions. Every suggestion carries a relevance score and the expansion that produced it — ideal for building long-tail keyword lists, content briefs and PPC term sets at scale.

Features

• 🔤 Alphabet-soup expansion — with alphabetSoup on, each seed is queried as <seed> a…z plus 0–9 to surface long-tail variations.
• ❓ Question expansion — enable prependQuestions to pull how/what/why/when/where/who/which/are/can/will <seed> — ideal for FAQ and blog content.
• 🔗 Preposition & comparison expansion — enable appendPrepositions for <seed> for/with/without/vs/near/like/to variants.
• 📊 Relevance scores — every keyword carries a relevance value, and each seed's results are sorted highest-first.
• 🌍 Country & language targeting — set countryCode and languageCode for localized suggestions.
• 🧹 Deduplicated & labeled — each row records the expansion that produced it and the seedKeyword.

  "keyword": "coffee grinder",

FAQ

Do I need an API key or login? No. There's no account, login or API key required — just add your seeds and run.

How many keywords can I generate per run? It depends on your seeds and expansions — with alphabet-soup, questions and prepositions on, a single seed can yield hundreds of suggestions, and you can pass many seeds per run.

How does billing work? You pay only per suggestion you get, so small runs stay cheap. See the Pricing tab for current rates.

What format is the output? Structured JSON — one row per suggestion — exportable as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML. Each row includes the keyword, its seed, the expansion, relevance score and locale.

Can I target a specific country or language? Yes. Set countryCode and languageCode to get suggestions localized to a market.

Is this only public data? Yes. It returns only suggestions Google serves publicly.
