AI Keyword Data Keyword Search Volume

‌
This endpoint provides search volume data for your target keywords, reflecting their estimated usage in AI tools.

For each specified keyword, you will get AI search volume rate for the last month and AI search volume trend for the previous 12 months. The AI search volume values are calculated using statistical data from questions in the ‘People Also Ask’ SERP element.

All POST data should be sent in the JSON format (UTF-8 encoding). The task setting is done using the POST method. When setting a task, you should send all task parameters in the task array of the generic POST array. You can send up to 2000 API calls per minute. The maximum number of requests that can be sent simultaneously is limited to 30.

Below you will find a detailed description of the fields you can use for setting a task.
