The job

What the Keyword volume and CPC API gives your agent

Volume tells you how many people search a phrase. Cost per click tells you what advertisers pay for it. Difficulty tells you how hard the first page is. Three numbers per keyword decide whether a page is worth writing, and your agent can pull all three for a whole list in a few calls.

Every endpoint on this page comes from one data provider, but they answer different questions. One returns Google Ads volume for a list. One returns the fuller overview with intent and monthly history. One scores difficulty for up to a thousand keywords in a request. A fourth covers Bing volume.

Sample calls

The request and what comes back

Each run is one POST to /v1/runs with an endpoint id and an input. These are illustrative calls with generic values. The run's result holds the provider's own fields.

Before you start

Settle these before the first run

  • Pick the location and language first. Volume for the United States and for the United Kingdom differ, and a keyword list without a location returns a number you cannot use.
  • Batch the keywords. The overview endpoint takes up to 700 keywords in one call and the difficulty endpoint up to 1,000, so one call beats a loop of single lookups.
  • Volume from the ads side is a range of intent, not a traffic forecast. Use it to rank keywords against each other, not to promise visits.
