The $0.01 new-data fee is charged at most once per run, and only when some keywords are not in the cache.

How to use it

1. Open the Actor and fill in the form. Click Try for free on this page (or open the Actor in Apify Console). Paste your keywords into Keywords, one per line, and choose the Country and Language (default United States, English). Optional: turn on Add keyword ideas and set Maximum keyword ideas.
2. Press Start. Most runs finish in under 30 seconds.
3. Download the results. When the run finishes, open the Output tab and click Export to download Excel or CSV (JSON, XML and Google Sheets work too). The Monthly searches view shows the 12-month numbers side by side.

Keywords are cleaned the way Google expects them: lower case, no ?, !, commas or brackets, at most 80 characters and 10 words. Duplicates are looked up once.

Schedule it

To track keywords every month, save your input as a task, then open Schedules in Apify Console, create a schedule (for example monthly on the 20th, after the monthly data update) and add your task. Each run adds a new dataset you can compare or send to Google Sheets, Slack or a webhook through Apify integrations.

How it works

Use it from code (API)

Every example below starts a run, waits for it to finish and reads the results. Replace YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN with your token from Apify Console (Settings, API & Integrations). Each item is one keyword; the fields are listed under What you get for each keyword above.

Python (pip install apify-client, version 3 or later)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("moggedhq/keyword-search-volume").call(run_input={
    "keywords": ["running shoes", "coffee maker", "seo tools"],
    "country": "United States",
    "language": "English",
})

for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item["keyword"], item["searchVolume"], item["cpc"], item["trend"])

JavaScript / Node.js (npm install apify-client, save as main.mjs)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('moggedhq/keyword-search-volume').call({
    keywords: ['running shoes', 'coffee maker', 'seo tools'],
    country: 'United States',
    language: 'English',
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((k) => console.log(k.keyword, k.searchVolume, k.cpc, k.trend));

cURL (waits for the run and saves the results as a CSV file; use format=json or format=xlsx for other formats)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/moggedhq~keyword-search-volume/run-sync-get-dataset-items?format=csv" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords": ["running shoes", "coffee maker", "seo tools"], "country": "United States", "language": "English"}' \
  -o results.csv

No-code: n8n, Make and Zapier

• n8n: add the Apify node, choose the Run Actor operation and pick moggedhq/keyword-search-volume, or call the cURL address above from an HTTP Request node.
• Make: use the Apify app's Run an Actor module, then Get Dataset Items to pass each row to Google Sheets, a CRM or email.
• Zapier: use the Apify app's Run Actor action, or the Finished Actor Run trigger to send every new result set to Sheets, Slack or your CRM.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

The Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com) lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients call this Actor as a tool, fill in the input from a plain request, and read the rows back. AI agents can call this Actor in one step. The input is a plain keyword list and every row is flat JSON with named fields.

Claude Code:

$claude mcp add apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=moggedhq/keyword-search-volume" -t http

Cursor, VS Code and other clients that take a server URL (mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=moggedhq/keyword-search-volume"
    }
  }
}

Clients that only run local servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@apify/actors-mcp-server", "--tools", "moggedhq/keyword-search-volume"],
      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Example prompt:

Get Google search volume, CPC and keyword difficulty in the United States for running shoes, coffee maker and seo tools, and tell me which one has the best search volume for its difficulty.

Input the agent sends:

{
  "keywords": ["running shoes", "coffee maker", "seo tools"],
  "country": "United States",
  "language": "English"
}

For keyword ideas, add "includeKeywordIdeas": true and "maxResults": 50.

One output row:

{
  "keyword": "coffee maker",
  "searchVolume": 201000,
  "cpc": 0.79,
  "cpcLow": 0.25,
  "cpcHigh": 1.23,
  "competition": "HIGH",
  "competitionIndex": 100,
  "keywordDifficulty": 32,
  "searchIntent": "transactional",
  "otherIntents": [],
  "trend": "stable",
  "trendChangePercent": -6,
  "monthlySearches": [{ "month": "2025-09", "searches": 201000 }, { "month": "2026-08", "searches": 165000 }],
  "dataUpdatedAt": "2026-09-15",
  "country": "United States",
  "language": "English",
  "type": "keyword",
  "seedKeyword": null,
  "status": "ok"
}

(monthlySearches has 12 months; two are shown.)

Use cases

• SEO keyword research: size every keyword in a content plan, and find the ones with real demand and low difficulty.
• PPC planning: check CPC, bids and competition before you build a Google Ads campaign.
• Content planning: turn on keyword ideas to find long-tail topics with search volume, then sort by difficulty.
• Local and international SEO: compare the same keywords across countries and languages.
• Seasonality: the 12-month series shows when each keyword peaks.

Limits, honestly

• Data source. Google Ads search volume data (the numbers you would see in Google Keyword Planner), delivered through a licensed SEO data provider that also supplies keyword difficulty and search intent. It is refreshed monthly. This Actor is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Google.
• Rounded numbers. Google reports search volume in steps (for example 165,000, 201,000, 246,000), so every tool built on Google's data shows the same rounded values.
• Trend flag. It compares Google Ads volumes, which are rounded, so it can differ from Google Trends, which measures interest differently.
• No data. Very rare keywords and some regulated topics have no data. Those rows say no data and are free.
• New lookups have a daily capacity. Keywords not in the cache are fetched live, up to about 1,500 per run. If the day's capacity is used up, those keywords come back as not checked (free) and you can run them again the next day. Cached keywords are never limited.
• Apify free plan. Each run can fetch up to 10 new keywords. Cached keywords are not limited.

Do I need a Google Ads account? No. You need only an Apify account.

Which countries are supported? 94 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, India, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, the Netherlands, Japan and South Africa. If a language is not available for a country, the country's main language is used and the run says so.
