## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### 🚀 Google Keyword Suggestions Scraper

Turn one seed keyword into **hundreds or thousands of Google keyword ideas**. The **Google Keyword Suggestions Scraper** finds keywords that contain your seed phrase. Each comes with search volume, CPC, competition, keyword difficulty, search intent, a 12-month trend and the SERP features shown for it, sorted from the most searched down. Use it to build content plans, find long-tail keywords, research a niche or seed a PPC campaign. No paid SEO tool needed.

### ✨ Features

- 💡 **Thousands of Ideas per Seed**: Every keyword containing your seed phrase that people search on Google, biggest first.
- 📊 **Search Volume and Trend**: Monthly searches plus a 12-month history.
- 🎯 **Keyword Difficulty (0–100)**: How hard it is to rank in the top 10.
- 🧭 **Search Intent**: Informational, navigational, commercial or transactional.
- 💰 **CPC, Competition and Bids**: For PPC planning.
- 🧩 **SERP Features and Top-10 Backlinks**: Which result types appear (featured snippet, People Also Ask, video…) and how many backlinks the top 10 pages have on average.
- 🌍 **90+ Countries**: Any market with a two-letter country code.

### 🛠️ How It Works

1. **Enter one or more seed keywords** – e.g. `running shoes`.
2. **Pick a country and how many ideas you want** – the default is 100.
3. **Run the Scraper** – keywords are saved highest volume first and can be downloaded as JSON, CSV or Excel.

### ⚙️ Input

| Field             | What it does                                                                 |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Seed keywords** | One or more seeds. Every suggestion contains the seed phrase.                |
| **Country**       | Two-letter country code (`us`, `gb`, `de`, `pl`…).                           |
| **Language**      | Optional two-letter language code. Empty = the country's main language.      |
| **Max results**   | Stop after this many keywords across all seeds. Default 100.                 |

With an empty input the scraper returns 100 ideas for `web scraping` in the US.

```json
{
    "keywords": ["running shoes"],
    "country": "us",
    "maxItems": 2000
}
```

### 💰 Pricing

| ---------------------- | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Keyword suggestion** | $0.003 per keyword ($3 per 1,000) | Search volume, 12-month trend, CPC, competition, bids, keyword difficulty, intent, SERP features, top-10 backlinks |
| **Actor start**        | $0.00005 per run                  | Charged once when the run starts.                                                                                |

Examples: 100 ideas = $0.30 · 1,000 ideas = $3.00.

### ❓ FAQ

**Are the volumes the same as Google Keyword Planner?** They come from the same Google Ads data and are refreshed monthly.

**I used two seeds that overlap. Do I pay twice?** No. Each keyword is saved and charged once per run.

**Need exact volumes for your own list, or a competitor's keywords?** See [Google Keyword Volume Scraper](https://apify.com/piotrv1001/google-keyword-volume-scraper) and [Google Ranked Keywords Scraper](https://apify.com/piotrv1001/google-ranked-keywords-scraper).

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
