## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Ad Traffic By Keywords

Get ad traffic statistics from Google Ads - projected impressions, clicks, CTR, and CPC based on your bid and match type.

### Features

- **Traffic Projections** - Estimated impressions, clicks, CTR
- **CPC Estimates** - Cost per click from actual ad auctions
- **Bid Simulation** - See metrics at different bid levels
- **Match Types** - Support for exact, phrase, and broad match
- **Forecasting** - Predict traffic for next week, month, or quarter
- **Bulk Analysis** - Up to 1000 keywords per request

### Important Notes

- **Bid Required** - You must specify a custom bid. Higher bids = higher projected metrics
- **Match Type** - Choose exact, phrase, or broad match
- **Ad Traffic vs Search Volume** - Ad traffic data is account-specific and more accurate than broad match estimates

### Input

| Field | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| Keywords | Yes | Keywords to analyze (max 1000) |
| Custom Bid | Yes | Maximum bid (recommended: 1-10) |
| Match Type | Yes | exact, phrase, broad |
| Location | No | Target location |
| Language | No | Target language |
| Date Interval | No | next_week, next_month, next_quarter |
| Sort By | No | relevance, impressions, ctr, average_cpc, cost, clicks |

#### Example Input

````

Keywords: coffee shop, seo services
Custom Bid: 5
Match Type: broad
Location: United States
Date Interval: next\_month

````

### Output

Each result contains:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| keyword | string | The keyword |
| locationCode | integer | Location code |
| languageCode | string | Language code |
| dateInterval | string | Forecasting period |
| searchPartners | boolean | Include search partners |
| bid | integer | Your custom bid |
| match | string | Match type used |
| impressions | float | Projected impressions |
| ctr | float | Click-through rate |
| averageCpc | float | Average cost per click |
| cost | float | Total projected cost |
| clicks | float | Projected clicks |

### Use Cases

- **PPC Campaigns** - Estimate realistic traffic before launching
- **Budget Planning** - Forecast costs at different bid levels
- **Keyword Research** - Compare match type performance
- **ROI Estimation** - Calculate potential returns
- **Competitive Analysis** - Understand keyword competitiveness

### Notes

- Rate limit: 12 requests per minute
- Max 1000 keywords per request
- Higher bids result in higher projected metrics
- Some fields may be null if no data available
