Data API / DataForSEO / DataForSEO Labs

Categories for Keywords

The categories a set of keywords belongs to. This one takes no limit parameter, but it is priced per call rather than per item, so send the whole list at once. Wrapped in DataForSEO's envelope: data in tasks[0].result, outcome in tasks[0].status_code - a rejected request still returns HTTP 200. Language codes come from get_dataforseo_labs_google_categories_for_kw_languages. Use it to check whether a keyword list is coherent before building a page around it.

Parameters

No path, query, or header parameters.
