## 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.

## SEO Keyword & Search-Demand Intel

> **TL;DR for SEO freelancers, agencies, content and growth teams, and AI research agents:** Bundles the public Google surfaces that gate exact search volume - **autosuggest** (the long-tail expansion + demand-rank engine), the **logged-out SERP** (features, top results, "People also ask", related searches, difficulty), and **Trends** (seasonality) - into one normalized keyword record. On top of the raw signals it ships the value layer the gated tools charge for: a **transparent, versioned volume + difficulty estimation model**, search-intent classification, and **topic clustering**. Google Keyword Planner hides exact volume behind active ad spend, and Ahrefs ($29-$1,499/mo) / SEMrush ($139-$499/mo) sell the clean numbers - this delivers an honest estimate plus live SERP enrichment, per keyword, pay-per-use. Logged-out public data, rate-limited, no PII. Free Apify plan covers exploration runs on your $5 platform credit.

### Run it in 30 seconds

```python
## Via the Apify Python SDK
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("seibs.co/keyword-demand-intel").call(run_input={
    "mode": "keyword_expansion",
    "seeds": ["crm software", "project management tool"]
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
````

Or via curl:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/seibs.co~keyword-demand-intel/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode": "keyword_expansion", "seeds": ["crm software"]}'
```

Or click "Try for free" on this page if you prefer the no-code UI.

### What you get

Each run produces:

- A clean dataset, filterable in the Apify console and downloadable as CSV or JSON
- An OUTPUT.html dashboard preview of your top keywords
- A `keywords.csv` + per-keyword content worksheet artifact
- A sample-output preview at [`.actor/sample-output.json`](./.actor/sample-output.json)
- An `access_notes` record up top documenting the sources, the estimation model, and the legal-safety posture

### What does Keyword & Search-Demand Intel do?

It assembles search-demand intelligence from the free Google surfaces and normalizes everything into one keyword schema: `term`, `intent` (informational / commercial / transactional / navigational / local), `monthly_searches_estimate` + `volume_band`, `difficulty_score` + `difficulty_band`, `expansion_source`, `serp_features`, `people_also_ask`, `related_searches`, and `seasonality`. Then it runs the **value layer**:

- **Long-tail expansion** - fans each seed across Google autosuggest (the bare seed, intent modifiers like *best / vs / price / near me*, and the a-z "alphabet soup") into the real queries people type, deduped and ranked.
- **Volume + difficulty estimation model** (`estimation.py`, versioned `kdi-demand-v1`) - a transparent, deterministic model that turns the signals we *can* collect (autosuggest rank + ubiquity, query shape, live SERP competition) into a banded volume estimate with an explicit confidence and a 0-100 difficulty score. The honesty is the product: these are clearly-labeled estimates, **not** Google's gated Keyword Planner figures or any third-party clickstream.
- **Live SERP enrichment** - for the terms you choose, parses the logged-out SERP for top results, SERP features (featured snippet, PAA, knowledge panel, image/video/shopping/local packs, ads), and the related/PAA expansion, then scores difficulty from who actually ranks.
- **Topic clustering** - collapses a 400-row long-tail expansion into the handful of distinct topics a content team plans around, with summed volume and the easiest member's difficulty.

### Modes

| Mode | What it returns | Charges |
|---|---|---|
| `keyword_expansion` (default) | Seed -> long-tail universe via autosuggest, with intent + estimated volume + proxy difficulty per keyword, plus topic clusters. No SERP fetch (fast + cheap). | `keyword_record` + `volume_estimate` per keyword |
| `serp_analysis` | Per seed term, the logged-out SERP: features, top results, PAA, related searches, and SERP-backed difficulty - plus the PAA/related mined into bonus keyword records. | `serp_snapshot` + `keyword_record` + `volume_estimate` per term |
| `keyword_metrics` | The flagship bundle: expansion + volume + difficulty + live SERP features (top N terms) + optional seasonality per keyword, then topic clusters. | per-keyword + `serp_snapshot` per SERP-enriched term |
| `trend_signal` | Per seed, the Google Trends seasonality signal (trend direction, peak/trough month, spikiness). Best-effort, fails soft. | `keyword_record` + `volume_estimate` per seed |

### The estimation model (read this - it's the point)

Exact volume is gated; we do not pretend to reproduce Google's or Ahrefs' proprietary numbers. Instead `estimation.py` is a **published, versioned, deterministic model** you can audit:

- **Volume** composes a log-scale demand score from autosuggest rank (rank 0 = the top completion Google offers for a prefix), ubiquity (how many prefixes surface the term), query word count (head vs. long-tail), and SERP corroboration (PAA/related presence, result count), then maps it to a band (`very_low` -> `very_high`) with a confidence that rises with the number of signals.
- **Difficulty** scores 0-100 from the live SERP - the share of high-authority domains in the top 10, ad competition, and featured-snippet pressure - or, without a SERP, a transparent proxy from intent + query shape (marked `proxy: true`).

Every estimate carries `model_version` and `signals_used` so you can pin, diff, or override it. If you need Google's exact gated number, this is not that; if you need a defensible, free, queryable demand-and-difficulty signal at scale, this is.

### Anti-bot escalation (for the SERP leg)

Autosuggest is a lightweight public JSON endpoint that almost always clears on the first httpx pass. The **SERP** is the surface Google fingerprints: a datacenter IP often gets a consent / "unusual traffic" interstitial. The client escalates automatically:

`httpx (datacenter)` -> `curl_cffi Chrome TLS impersonation (residential)` -> `Playwright stealth browser (residential)` -> **fail-soft**

If every tier is blocked, the term emits a documented `fetch_error` and the run still finishes SUCCEEDED with whatever it collected. Set `browser_cdp_url` (or the `BROWSER_CDP_URL` env var) to a warm anti-detect browser to clear the toughest interstitials. The expansion (autosuggest) leg keeps working regardless, so a run is never empty.

### Legal-safety posture

Per the gated-data playbook (Section B): **logged-out public Google surfaces only** (autosuggest, the public SERP, public Trends), rate-limited, no accounts, no user-supplied cookies, no paywalls. Keyword and SERP data carry **no personal data** - PII-minimized by construction. Volume and difficulty are presented as clearly-labeled model estimates, never as Google's gated figures.

### Cost control

Five-layer defense shared across the portfolio: pre-flight input caps, a top-level try/except that routes any failure to demo mode (so the run finishes SUCCEEDED with no "Under maintenance" scar), an in-run `_RunBudget` guard that aborts cleanly if compute outruns pay-per-event revenue, in-loop budget checks before each expensive SERP fetch, and hardcoded PPE prices that keep the guard accurate without an API round-trip. **A run that returns nothing costs nothing.**

### Monitor mode

Save this actor as an Apify **task** and put it on a **schedule** to track a keyword set over time. On scheduled runs it emits a change digest (rank movement, difficulty shifts, new/lost SERP features) and can POST it to a Slack-compatible `monitor_webhook_url`. Charges one `scheduled_delta_run` per scheduled run.

### Pricing (pay-per-event)

| Event | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| `keyword_record` | $0.003 | One normalized keyword (term, intent, word count, expansion source, proxy difficulty) |
| `volume_estimate` | $0.006 | The demand-model output for a term (banded volume + confidence) - the layer Keyword Planner gates |
| `serp_snapshot` | $0.008 | Top results + SERP features + PAA + related + SERP-backed difficulty for a term |
| `scheduled_delta_run` | $0.050 | One scheduled monitor-mode change digest |

For comparison: Ahrefs is $29-$1,499/mo and SEMrush $139-$499/mo, both subscription-gated.

### AI agents / MCP

There's a paired **MCP server** (`mcp-keyword-demand-intel`) exposing `expand_keywords`, `keyword_metrics`, `analyze_serp`, `keyword_difficulty`, and `trend_signal` as agent tools, with x402 (USDC on Base) and Skyfire agentic-payment support. The `overview` dataset view and the MCP-compatible output link are built for direct tool-call wiring (Claude, GPT, LangChain, LlamaIndex).

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

keyword\_expansion = fan each seed into its long-tail universe via Google autosuggest, with intent + estimated volume + proxy difficulty per keyword (no SERP fetch, fast + cheap). serp\_analysis = fetch the logged-out SERP for each seed and extract features, top results, People-Also-Ask, related searches, and SERP-backed difficulty. keyword\_metrics = the full bundle: expansion + volume + difficulty + SERP features + seasonality per keyword, then topic clusters. trend\_signal = the Google Trends seasonality signal (trend direction, peak month, spikiness) per seed.

## `seeds` (type: `array`):

Seed terms to expand and analyze, e.g. \['crm software', 'project management tool']. In keyword\_expansion / keyword\_metrics each seed fans out into its long-tail universe; in serp\_analysis / trend\_signal each seed is analyzed directly. Hard cap of 30.

## `max_expansions_per_seed` (type: `integer`):

Cap on autosuggest expansions kept per seed (keyword\_expansion / keyword\_metrics). Default 120. Higher = a deeper long-tail universe but more keyword\_record charges.

## `max_serp_terms` (type: `integer`):

In keyword\_metrics, how many of the highest-estimated-volume keywords get a live SERP fetch (features + SERP-backed difficulty + PAA/related mining). Charges one serp\_snapshot each. Default 10. Set 0 to skip SERP enrichment and run volume/difficulty estimates only.

## `serp_results` (type: `integer`):

How many organic results to request per SERP (drives the difficulty model's domain-authority signal). Default 10.

## `alphabet_expansion` (type: `boolean`):

Append a-z to each seed in autosuggest ('seed a', 'seed b', ...) to surface the long-tail fan-out. On by default. Turn off for a faster, narrower expansion (bare seed + intent modifiers only).

## `modifier_expansion` (type: `boolean`):

Append commercial/intent modifiers (best, vs, price, near me, alternative, ...) to each seed in autosuggest to surface higher-intent long-tail keywords. On by default.

## `include_seasonality` (type: `boolean`):

In keyword\_metrics, enrich the seeds with a best-effort Google Trends seasonality signal (trend direction, peak month, spikiness). Trends is unofficial and rate-limited, so it fails soft (seasonality=null) rather than failing the run. Always on for trend\_signal mode.

## `language` (type: `string`):

Google interface language code for autosuggest + SERP, e.g. 'en', 'es', 'de'. Default 'en'.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Two-letter country code for SERP geo-targeting + Trends region, e.g. 'US', 'GB', 'CA'. Default 'US'.

## `monitor_webhook_url` (type: `string`):

When this actor runs under an Apify Schedule (monitor mode), post the change digest (rank movement, difficulty shifts, new/lost SERP features) to this Slack-compatible webhook URL.

## `use_apify_proxy` (type: `boolean`):

Route requests through Apify Proxy. The DATACENTER tier handles the first (httpx) autosuggest pass; a RESIDENTIAL tier is provisioned for the SERP anti-bot escalation legs.

## `use_browser_fallback` (type: `boolean`):

When the logged-out SERP serves a consent / 'unusual traffic' interstitial to a datacenter IP, automatically escalate: switch to the RESIDENTIAL proxy and retry with curl\_cffi Chrome TLS impersonation, then (if available) a headless browser. Autosuggest rarely needs this. Turn off to use plain httpx only.

## `browser_cdp_url` (type: `string`):

Optional. CDP/WebSocket endpoint of an already-running, anti-detect (UC-mode / real Chrome) browser. When set, the SERP browser tier connects to it (inheriting its session + fingerprint) so it passes Google's consent/abuse interstitial. Without it a plain headless Chromium is launched. Can also be set as the BROWSER\_CDP\_URL env var.

## `apify_proxy_groups` (type: `array`):

Override the auto-selected proxy group for the first httpx pass. Leave empty to let the actor pick DATACENTER.

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

Parallel autosuggest/SERP fetches. Google is rate-sensitive; default 4.
