Keyword Suggestions Scraper

Collect public autocomplete suggestions from Google, Bing, Yahoo, Amazon, Etsy, YouTube, Pinterest, and Wikipedia. The Actor accepts the values a user would enter in those services rather than requiring result-page URLs.

Input

{
  "keywords": ["software", "ai tools"],
  "platforms": ["google", "bing", "etsy", "pinterest", "wiki"],
  "language": "en",
  "countryCode": "US",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "maxRequestRetries": 2,
  "requestTimeoutSecs": 30,
  "useApifyProxy": false
}

• keywords is required and supports 1–100 unique, non-empty values.
• maxItems applies independently to every keyword/platform pair.
• Custom proxyUrls take precedence over Apify Proxy. A stable proxy session is reused for API calls and browser fallbacks.
• Etsy and Pinterest use their public API when available and fall back to the visible autocomplete/refinement UI.

Output

The dataset contains only successful, source-backed records:

{
  "id": "2a768334b7b084cb18aa02e2",
  "keyword": "software",
  "platform": "google",
  "suggestions": ["software engineer", "software developer"],
  "suggestionCount": 2,
  "language": "en",
  "countryCode": "US",
  "source": "google.com",
  "extractionMethod": "api",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-30T00:00:00.000Z"
}

The OUTPUT key-value record reports each requested source as success, empty, blocked, unavailable, temporary_error, timeout, invalid_response, or failed. Diagnostics never enter the result dataset.

Current source limitation

Answers.com has removed its former public search/autocomplete surface. The answers choice remains for backward compatibility and is reported as unavailable without substituting another service or fabricating suggestions. Runs with other successful platforms complete with limitations.

Autocomplete results are time- and location-sensitive research signals, not search-volume measurements. Use small batches and only proxies you are authorized to use.
