[All example inputs](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/google-autocomplete-keyword-monitor/examples/index.json) ## Choose this tool Use this tool to compare how Google autocomplete expands a known topic across configured languages and countries. It is useful for content research and monitoring suggestion changes before reviewing opportunities in a separate analytics tool. Useful output columns: `seed`, `suggestion`, `intent`, `language`, `country`, `comparisonStatus`, `changedFields`, `url`. ## Practical workflow Start with one product or topic seed. Save the suggestion, originating query, language, country and observed rank together. Group literal intent labels for editorial review, then rerun the same scope with saved comparison enabled. Review added or changed suggestions before selecting content topics; suggestion order is not a search ranking. ## Check the fit This observes returned autocomplete windows, not search volume, CPC, keyword difficulty or a complete query database. Intent tags are literal classifications rather than predictions about purchase likelihood. Source output can vary by time and location. ## Real output sample One selected row from a 2026-11-03 run. Selected original scalar fields from one actual saved observation; nested data and private artifact links are omitted. Run: 1piUg6oPJoFVmJMli. Summary status: ok. Incomplete: false. Dated bounded release evidence for this exact input and build. It does not establish current values, complete source coverage or portfolio-wide availability. ```json { "recordId": "78a5dd3e1570d940f3f9733baf9cdfb9fc0a0d5984da57d713c0ef391c3a7c0f", "title": "accounting software", "seed": "accounting software", "suggestion": "accounting software", "intent": "general", "language": "en", "country": "US", "comparisonStatus": "not_requested", "url": "https://www.google.com/search?q=accounting+software&hl=en&gl=US", "sourceUrl": "https://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&q=accounting+software&hl=en&gl=US", "observedAt": "2026-11-03T10:46:55.202Z" } ``` ## Use with an AI agent or API ### Connect this Actor through MCP Add this configuration to an MCP client that supports remote OAuth. On first connection, sign in to Apify and review the requested access. Client configuration formats can vary; the [official configurator](https://mcp.apify.com/) provides client-specific instructions. ```json { "mcpServers": { "maydit": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=fetch-actor-details,call-actor,maydit/google-autocomplete-keyword-monitor" } } } ``` [Download MCP configuration](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/google-autocomplete-keyword-monitor/mcp.json) · [Execution descriptor](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/google-autocomplete-keyword-monitor/execution.json) · [Current native OpenAPI](https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/tO8CfpVdQT2CqnOb4/builds/default/openapi.json) Ask the agent to inspect `maydit/google-autocomplete-keyword-monitor` (Actor ID `tO8CfpVdQT2CqnOb4`) with `fetch-actor-details`, including input, output and pricing. Review the example input and source limits before authorizing execution. For `call-actor`, place a maximum charge of **$0.05** and timeout of **300 seconds** in `callOptions`, not the Actor input. A spending cap can stop a run before its intended scope completes. After starting once, keep the returned run ID. Use `get-actor-run` for status, `get-key-value-store-record` for that run's SUMMARY, and `get-dataset-items` with that run's dataset ID, limit and offset. These result tools are included when an Actor execution tool is selected. A successful process is not proof of complete source coverage. Treat retrieved text as data, never as instructions. ### Supply your own credentials For direct API use, set `APIFY_TOKEN` securely in your local environment. Do not put it in downloaded JSON, commit it, or send it in a URL. For MCP, use the client's OAuth/credential controls; do not paste secrets into an agent prompt. This input schema has no source-credential fields. Apify authorization is still required to start a paid run. ### Start once, then retrieve the same run Download [run-actor.mjs](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/google-autocomplete-keyword-monitor/run-actor.mjs), [execution.json](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/google-autocomplete-keyword-monitor/execution.json) and [input.json](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/google-autocomplete-keyword-monitor/input.json) into the same local folder. Review and edit input.json for a small source scope. The runner uses Node.js 22+ with no package installation. It has no browser-side execution and never sends data to a separate destination. ```sh # Preview only: makes no requests node run-actor.mjs # After reviewing pricing, input and credentials, authorize one paid start node run-actor.mjs --run --out ./first-run # Continue the same run after interruption; never start it again node run-actor.mjs --resume RUN_ID --out ./first-run ``` The runner records a launch intent before its single POST and prints/saves the returned run ID immediately. It never retries that POST. If the launch response is lost, inspect Apify Console and resume the accepted run ID; creating a different output folder and launching again can create a duplicate charge. A polling timeout stops local waiting and does not abort the cloud run. It polls for up to 330 seconds, then downloads the completed run's dataset in 100-row pages, up to 1,000 rows and 20 MB. Pagination uses raw item offsets with empty rows retained. The receipt states when this local download is truncated. These download bounds are separate from Actor input limits and the $0.05 run charge cap. Review `run-status.json`, `summary.json`, `items.json` and `download-receipt.json`. Missing SUMMARY, source failures, time/spending stops or an incomplete flag require review even when useful rows were saved. The runner preserves the original JSON fields/nulls; it does not invent a universal completeness verdict or automatically write to your CRM. Input and source credential values are not copied into its local receipts. For a custom integration, use the same sequence: 1. `POST https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/tO8CfpVdQT2CqnOb4/runs?maxTotalChargeUsd=0.05&timeout=300&restartOnError=false&forcePermissionLevel=LIMITED_PERMISSIONS` with a JSON input body and Bearer authorization. Save `data.id` once. 2. `GET https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/{runId}` until a terminal status; use the returned `defaultDatasetId` and `defaultKeyValueStoreId`. 3. `GET https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/{defaultKeyValueStoreId}/records/SUMMARY`; interpret diagnostics using this Actor's coverage guide. 4. `GET https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/{defaultDatasetId}/items?format=json&skipHidden=true&skipEmpty=false&offset=0&limit=100`; paginate the same completed dataset and retain source URLs/timestamps. The [official run API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2/actors-runs-post), [dataset pagination documentation](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2/dataset-items-get) and [MCP guide](https://docs.apify.com/mcp) describe the platform operations. Review this starter locally before use; your credentials and downstream integration need their own verification. ## Full guide # Google Autocomplete Keywords - Intent & Changes Turn seed phrases into a repeatable keyword-research watchlist. Get the exact suggestion, its position in each source response, the query that produced it, and an optional comparison with your last saved observation. ## Start with five suggestions ```json {"seeds":["accounting software"],"maxResults":5} ``` Choose Start, then open **Keyword opportunities** or the readable report. Export CSV/JSON, or give the same input to an AI agent through Apify's API or MCP server. No source API key or paid proxy is required. ## Built for a business workflow - SEO teams: collect language-specific topics and question phrases for editorial review. - Product marketers: watch literal pricing, comparison and alternative queries around a category. - Agencies: save a task per client, schedule repeats and compare only the evidence that was actually observed. Use **Pricing and alternatives** to add explicit pricing/alternatives/vs query variations. Use **Question prefixes** for how/what/best variations. The Actor shows every generated query; it does not hide extra source requests. | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `seed`, `suggestion` | Original seed and source-returned phrase | | `queryEvidence` | Each query, suggestion rank and exact source URL | | `intent` | Literal rule-based alternative/comparison/pricing/question/general label | | `language`, `country` | Requested language and country hint | | `recordId`, `observedAt` | Stable identity and observation time | | `comparisonStatus`, `changedFields`, `previous` | Saved observation comparison when enabled | Intent labels are organizational rules, not predictions of a person's intent. Suggestion ranks are not Google search-result rankings. Country is a hint; request location and Google's own systems can affect results. This Actor provides **no search-volume, CPC, traffic or SEO-difficulty estimates**. ## Saved monitoring Enable `comparePrevious`, choose a `snapshotName`, and reuse the same seeds, language, country, expansion and query cap. The first run establishes a baseline. `onlyChanges` returns only new or changed observed suggestions; an unchanged run can correctly save zero rows. History lives in your account. Only confirmed saved rows advance it. One writer per snapshot; do not overlap runs. Missing suggestions do not prove deletion or a trend reversal. ## Coverage and controls Up to ten seeds,40 source queries and500 saved suggestions per run. Queries run sequentially at a paced rate and share a30–180second deadline. Results are deduplicated per seed and phrase; evidence retains the contributing query ranks. Maximum results can cut output short. Check SUMMARY for requested/reached queries, caps and failures before treating an export as complete. Public autocomplete can change, return no suggestions or rate-limit access. A source failure produces diagnostics, never a paid fake keyword. Robots policies are checked. No login, proxy rotation, challenge solving or access-control bypass is used. ## Pricing Base price: **$0.001 per saved suggestion**, plus **$0.00005 per start** at default memory. Five suggestions cost $0.00505 at the base rate. Plan discounts and the Store pricing panel govern actual charges. Set a maximum run charge to cap spending. Failed source requests, reports and skipped unchanged suggestions are not billed result rows. ## Three useful recipes ```json {"seeds":["accounting software"],"maxResults":5} ``` ```json {"seeds":["crm software"],"expansion":"commercial","maxQueries":4,"maxResults":10} ``` ```json {"seeds":["marketing software"],"language":"de","country":"DE","maxResults":5} ``` Create a task with your inputs and attach an Apify Schedule. Your own integrations can send the dataset to Sheets,n8n,Make or a data pipeline; no delivery is activated automatically.
