Keyword Research: Google Autocomplete & Suggestions

Discover Google Autocomplete keyword suggestions from your seed phrases. Use the results for long-tail keyword research and content planning, with clear source and metric-availability fields.

What you get

• Expand seed phrases into public autocomplete suggestions.
• Process keyword lists and export structured JSON.
• Distinguish unavailable measured metrics from numeric zero.

Quick start

Edit the sample target in Apify Console, or pass an explicit target through the API:

{
  "keywords": [
    "web scraping"
  ],
  "mode": "suggestions",
  "max_results": 5,
  "include_ai_search_volume": false,
  "use_paid_upstream": false
}

Results are written to the default dataset. Use the overview dataset view to inspect records and export available columns as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Captured output example

Selected fields from an earlier validation run; these values are not current measurements.

{
  "keyword": "web scraping python",
  "search_volume": null,
  "metrics_available": false,
  "source": "public_evidence_engine"
}

Sources and coverage

The current default is suggestions mode. It does not supply measured search volume, CPC, keyword difficulty or AI search volume; these fields remain null. Measured-metric modes require an owner-configured paid data source and are not available by simply selecting an input option.

The default uses public or platform-native sources with external paid data providers disabled. Apify Actor events and platform usage are separate from external API costs. Unsupported or unavailable fields are reported honestly; this is not a guarantee of complete source coverage.

Pricing

Published standard event rates (before plan discounts):

Event	USD per event	Meaning
apify-actor-start	$5e-05	Actor Start
keyword-lookup	$0.03	Keyword lookup
keyword-result	$0.005	Keyword result

Startup events, when configured, are separate from result events. Result-event charging follows the Actor's eligibility and useful-output rules; public fallback or diagnostic outputs may be uncharged. The live Pricing tab is authoritative. Set a maximum total charge before starting a run.

API, MCP and workflow integrations

Actor ID: hirepulse/keyword-search-volume. Run this Actor through Apify API or its official client libraries. Connect it to n8n or Make using the Apify integration, or expose it to AI agents through Apify's MCP server. This Actor does not host its own MCP server. API calls must supply the required target; Console prefill is an editable example, not a hidden API target.

Use cases and data coverage

Use cases	SEO keyword research, long-tail content planning and topic discovery

Store categorization is assigned by Apify. No search position, AI recommendation, completeness or fixed runtime is guaranteed.
