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.
