# Setting Live ‘Google Ads Search Volume’ Tasks

**API:** Data API

**Endpoint:** `POST /v1/beta/dataforseo/keywords_data/google_ads/search_volume/live`

**Tags:** DataForSEO

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.
