Ranked Keywords & Domain Overview API

See which Google keywords a domain, subdomain or page ranks for: position, ranking URL, search volume, CPC, keyword difficulty, search intent and estimated traffic. Each domain also gets an overview: how many keywords it ranks for, how many in the top 3, 10 and 100, and its estimated organic traffic and what that traffic would cost in ads. 94 countries. No subscription.

Price: $1.50 per 1,000 keywords + $0.02 per domain. Domains with no data are free.

Input

{
  "domains": ["backlinko.com", "blog.hubspot.com", "https://example.com/pricing/"],
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en",
  "maxKeywordsPerDomain": 100,
  "sortBy": "traffic"
}

• domains: up to 100 per run. https://, www. and a final / are removed from domains; duplicates are removed before anything is charged.
  • A domain (example.com) includes its subdomains.
  • A subdomain (blog.example.com) gives only that subdomain.
  • A page (anything with a path, like example.com/pricing/) gives only that exact URL. Type it exactly as it appears in Google: /pricing/ and /pricing are different pages.
  • Entries that are not public websites (IP addresses, localhost, ports) are skipped and listed in the run's status message.
• country: two-letter code (US, GB, DE, BR, IN, AR, ...). 94 countries.
• language: optional; defaults to the country's main language. Some countries offer two or three (for example CA: en, fr; CH: de, fr, it; US: en, es).
• maxKeywordsPerDomain: 1 to 10,000. Default 100.
• sortBy: which keywords come first. traffic (default): the ones that bring the most estimated traffic. searchVolume: the most searched. position: the best positions first.
• includePaidResults: also return keywords where the domain shows in Google Ads results. Off by default (organic only).
• dryRun: returns clearly fake sample rows (marked sampleData: true) to test an integration. Free.

Pricing, exactly

One domain, keywords returned	You pay
10	$0.035
100	$0.17
1,000	$1.52

• $0.02 per domain ("Domain with data"), charged once per domain, only when its first keywords arrive. It includes the domain overview. Apify may also bill its small standard Actor start fee.
• $0.0015 per keyword row ("Ranked keyword").
• Domains with no data, skipped entries and failed requests are never charged.
• Your maximum cost per run is respected before each request: if it covers only part of the work, the rest is not requested and not charged, and the status message tells you.
• Users on the Apify Free plan can look up 1 domain and 20 keywords per run. Any paid Apify plan removes the limit.

Where the data comes from

Rankings and keyword metrics come from DataForSEO's database (DataForSEO Labs), which collects Google results pages and keyword data. Traffic numbers are estimates (click-through rate x search volume), not analytics data. Each row shows serpUpdatedAt, the date that results page was checked: in our own sample (2,422 rows from 17 domains, October 2026) half had been checked by 30 July 2026 and 90% by 4 September 2026, so treat positions as a picture of the last few months, not of today.

Use it from code or an AI agent

Call it through the Apify API or the Apify MCP server like any Actor. Keyword rows are in the default dataset (view overview for the main columns); domain overviews are in the key-value store record DOMAINS; a run summary (counts and amount charged) is in the record OUTPUT.
