Keyword Shitter - Autocomplete Scraper

What does Keyword Shitter - Autocomplete Scraper do?

Keyword Shitter - Autocomplete Scraper is a Google and YouTube autocomplete scraper that extracts keyword suggestions from the search bar autocomplete (autosuggest). With only one seed keyword you can get thousands of up-to-date, relevant long-tail keywords that people actually type. The Actor does not scrape full search results or web pages — it only queries the autocomplete APIs used by Google and YouTube. You provide seed phrases, choose search engine (Google or YouTube), country, and language; the Actor returns structured keyword data with metadata such as position and relevance score.

How much does it cost to scrape Google and YouTube autocomplete?

Pricing depends on Apify platform consumption (e.g. Compute Units and proxy usage if enabled). The Actor is lightweight: it only calls autocomplete endpoints, so runs are typically short and low-cost. You pay for what you use. Check the Actor detail page for current pricing and the free tier so you can try small runs (e.g. a few seed phrases) before scaling. For high volume, enabling Apify Proxy can help avoid rate limits and keep runs stable.

Is it legal to scrape Google and YouTube autocomplete?

Our scraper only requests public autocomplete suggestions that users see when typing in the search bar. It does not access private accounts, personal messages, or non-public data. We believe that using this Actor for ethical keyword research and content planning is consistent with normal use of these services. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws (e.g. GDPR where relevant) and the terms of service of the platforms you use. If you are unsure, seek legal advice. You can also read about legality of web scraping on the Apify blog.

FAQ and support

No or few results?
Check that country and language codes match your seeds. Try broader seed phrases or increase Max Letters for Expansion.

Rate limited or errors?
Enable Proxy Configuration (e.g. Apify Proxy) and avoid very large runs in a single go. The Actor uses a fixed delay between requests to reduce rate limits.

Need a different output structure?
Use Output Format: Simple (only keywords), Detailed (all metadata, default), or Grouped (by seed phrase).

API and integrations
You can run the Actor via the Apify API, schedule it, or connect it to other Apify Actors and external tools. Results are available in the run’s dataset and can be consumed via the Apify API.
