Data API / DataForSEO / Keywords Data
Setting Live ‘Google Ads Search Volume’ Tasks
Google Ads search volume for a list of keywords. Returns keyword, location_code, language_code, search_partners, competition, competition_index, search_volume, low_top_of_page_bid, high_top_of_page_bid, cpc and monthly_searches, plus spell when Google corrected the term. Wrapped in DataForSEO's envelope: data in tasks[0].result, outcome in tasks[0].status_code - a rejected request still returns HTTP 200. This is the classical search-volume number; for how often people ask an assistant instead, use post_dataforseo_ai_keyword_volume_live. The submit and fetch twins of this endpoint do the same work asynchronously, at the same price, for batches too large to wait on.
Parameters
No path, query, or header parameters.
