Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Google Keyword Scraper - Volume, CPC & Intent Get Google keyword suggestions with **search volume**, **CPC**, **competition**, and **search intent** data. **Pricing:** `$1.00 / 1,000 keyword suggestions` This Actor is built for **SEO**, **Google Ads**, **PPC research**, **content planning**, **local SEO**, **lead generation**, and **keyword discovery**. It supports bulk seed keywords and localized Google country databases such as `Google.com`, `Google.fr`, `Google.co.uk`, `Google.de`, `Google.es`, `Google.it`, `Google.co.ma`, and more. --- ### What this Actor does This Actor takes one or more seed keywords and returns related Google keyword suggestions with useful SEO and advertising metrics. For each keyword suggestion, you get: - Original seed keyword - Keyword suggestion - Selected Google country database - Monthly search volume - CPC - Competition - Informational intent - Navigational intent - Commercial intent - Transactional intent Each keyword suggestion is saved as **one dataset item**, making it easy to export results as CSV, JSON, Excel, or use them through the Apify API. --- ### Why this Actor is useful Many keyword tools return only keyword suggestions and basic metrics. This Actor also includes **search intent signals**, which help you understand why people search for a keyword. Search intent can help you decide whether a keyword is better for: - SEO landing pages - Blog articles - Google Ads campaigns - Local service pages - Lead generation pages - Commercial comparison pages - Transactional β€œready to buy” pages --- ### Search intent explained Each keyword can include four intent signals: | Intent | Meaning | Example | |---|---|---| | `informationalIntent` | The user wants information | `how to create ai video` | | `navigationalIntent` | The user is looking for a brand, website, or known tool | `synthesia ai video generator` | | `commercialIntent` | The user is researching before buying or choosing | `best ai video generator` | | `transactionalIntent` | The user is close to taking action, buying, signing up, or requesting a service | `free ai video generator` | For SEO, PPC, and lead generation, **commercial** and **transactional** intent keywords are often the most valuable. --- ### Input #### `country` Select the Google country database used for localized keyword data. Examples: ```json "Google.com" "Google.fr" "Google.co.uk" "Google.de" "Google.es" "Google.it" "Google.co.ma" ```` #### `keywords` List of seed keywords. Example: ```json [ "ai video generator", "email marketing software", "plombier paris" ] ``` #### `max_keyword_suggestions` Maximum keyword suggestions returned **per seed keyword**. - Minimum: `10` - Maximum: `1000` - Default: `1000` Example: If you enter `10` seed keywords and set `max_keyword_suggestions` to `100`, the Actor can return up to `1,000` keyword suggestions. *** ### Example input ```json { "country": "Google.com", "keywords": [ "ai video generator" ], "max_keyword_suggestions": 10 } ``` *** ### Example raw API response The internal API groups keyword suggestions under each seed keyword. For example, one seed keyword can return many suggestions: ```json [ { "ok": true, "status": 200, "keyword": "ai video generator", "search_engine": "Google.com", "payload": { "search_term": "ai+video+generator", "search_engine": "Google.com" }, "suggestions_count": 10, "total_suggestions_available": 421, "max_keyword_suggestions": 10, "data": { "meta": { "tunnel": true, "path": "live-tools/keyword-research/similar-keywords" }, "data": { "results": { "ai video generator": { "search_volume": 246000, "competition": 0.42, "cpc": 0.81, "intents": { "informational": 35, "navigational": 0, "commercial": 0, "transactional": 45 } }, "ai video generators": { "search_volume": 165000, "competition": 0.44, "cpc": 3, "intents": { "informational": 0, "navigational": 0, "commercial": 33, "transactional": 53 } }, "ai videogenerator": { "search_volume": 110000, "competition": 0.53, "cpc": 0.54, "intents": { "informational": 0, "navigational": 0, "commercial": 33, "transactional": 52 } }, "free ai video generator": { "search_volume": 74000, "competition": 0.64, "cpc": 0.71, "intents": { "informational": 58, "navigational": 0, "commercial": 0, "transactional": 31 } }, "ai video generator free": { "search_volume": 18100, "competition": 0.6, "cpc": 2.05, "intents": { "informational": 0, "navigational": 48, "commercial": 41, "transactional": 31 } }, "ai video maker": { "search_volume": 18100, "competition": 0.56, "cpc": 0.6, "intents": { "informational": 0, "navigational": 46, "commercial": 0, "transactional": 39 } }, "synthesia ai video generator": { "search_volume": 14800, "competition": 0, "cpc": 0.66, "intents": { "informational": 0, "navigational": 0, "commercial": 0, "transactional": 72 } }, "text to videos ai": { "search_volume": 12100, "competition": 0.57, "cpc": 0.57, "intents": { "informational": 33, "navigational": 58, "commercial": 0, "transactional": 0 } }, "best ai video generator": { "search_volume": 12100, "competition": 0.73, "cpc": 6.56, "intents": { "informational": 0, "navigational": 0, "commercial": 0, "transactional": 59 } }, "best ai video generators": { "search_volume": 12100, "competition": 0.72, "cpc": 6.42, "intents": { "informational": 0, "navigational": 0, "commercial": 38, "transactional": 56 } } } } } } ] ``` *** ### Example Apify dataset output In the Apify dataset, the Actor saves each keyword suggestion as a separate row. Example dataset item: ```json { "seedKeyword": "ai video generator", "keyword": "ai video generator", "searchEngine": "Google.com", "searchVolume": 246000, "cpc": 0.81, "competition": 0.42, "informationalIntent": 35, "navigationalIntent": 0, "commercialIntent": 0, "transactionalIntent": 45 } ``` Another dataset item: ```json { "seedKeyword": "ai video generator", "keyword": "best ai video generator", "searchEngine": "Google.com", "searchVolume": 12100, "cpc": 6.56, "competition": 0.73, "informationalIntent": 0, "navigationalIntent": 0, "commercialIntent": 0, "transactionalIntent": 59 } ``` *** ### Output fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `seedKeyword` | Original keyword submitted by the user | | `keyword` | Keyword suggestion returned by the Actor | | `searchEngine` | Selected Google country database | | `searchVolume` | Estimated monthly search volume | | `cpc` | Estimated cost per click | | `competition` | Keyword competition score | | `informationalIntent` | Informational search intent score | | `navigationalIntent` | Navigational search intent score | | `commercialIntent` | Commercial search intent score | | `transactionalIntent` | Transactional search intent score | *** ### Common use cases #### SEO keyword research Find keyword ideas for landing pages, blog posts, and SEO content. ```json { "country": "Google.com", "keywords": ["ai video generator"], "max_keyword_suggestions": 100 } ``` #### Local SEO Find localized service keywords for cities and local businesses. ```json { "country": "Google.fr", "keywords": [ "plombier paris", "serrurier lyon", "electricien marseille" ], "max_keyword_suggestions": 100 } ``` #### Google Ads and PPC research Find keywords with CPC, competition, and commercial or transactional intent. ```json { "country": "Google.co.uk", "keywords": ["emergency plumber london"], "max_keyword_suggestions": 50 } ``` #### Content planning Find informational keywords for blog posts and guides. ```json { "country": "Google.com", "keywords": ["how to create ai video"], "max_keyword_suggestions": 100 } ``` *** ### Pricing This Actor is priced per keyword suggestion returned. **$1.00 / 1,000 keyword suggestions** Example: If you submit 10 seed keywords and the Actor returns 1,000 keyword suggestions in total, you are charged for 1,000 results. The price is based on output results, not the number of seed keywords submitted. *** ### Notes - One dataset item = one keyword suggestion. - `max_keyword_suggestions` is applied per seed keyword. - Results are localized based on the selected Google country database. - Empty or invalid seed keywords are ignored. - Duplicate seed keywords are automatically removed. - The Actor is optimized for bulk keyword research and clean dataset exports. *** ### Best practices For better results: - Use short seed keywords. - Use service + city combinations for local SEO. - Use commercial terms if you want lead-generation keywords. - Use informational phrases if you want blog topic ideas. - Start with `max_keyword_suggestions` set to 50 or 100 for testing. - Use 1000 when you need full keyword expansion. Examples of good seed keywords: ```text ai video generator best ai video generator free ai video generator plombier paris serrurier marseille email marketing software best CRM tools emergency plumber london ``` *** ### Summary Google Keyword Scraper - Volume, CPC & Intent helps you discover keyword ideas with useful SEO and PPC metrics.
