Page Intersection

‌‌‌

Note that the structure of DataForSEO Labs API requests and responses was updated on 2022-03-19. However, we will continue supporting the legacy version documented here. You can review the documentation of the new version by this link.

 
This endpoint will provide you with the keywords for which specified pages rank within the same SERP. You will get search volume, competition, cost-per-click and impressions data on each intersecting keyword. Along with that, you will get data on SERP elements that specified pages rank for in search results, as well as the estimated traffic volume and cost of ad traffic. Page Intersection endpoint supports organic, paid, local pack and featured snippet results.

Find keywords several webpages rank for:
If you would like to get the keywords several pages rank for, you need to specify webpages only in the pages object. This way, you will receive intersected ranked keywords for the specified URLs.

Find keywords your competitors rank for but you do not:
If you would like to receive all keywords several pages rank for, but particular pages do not, you need to use the exclude_pages array as well. This way you will receive the keywords for which the URLs from the pages object rank for, but the URLs from the exclude_pages array do not.

Instead of ‘login’ and ‘password’ use your credentials from https://app.dataforseo.com/api-dashboard

<?php
// You can download this file from here https://cdn.dataforseo.com/v3/examples/php/php_RestClient.zip
require('RestClient.php');
$api_url = 'https://api.dataforseo.com/';
// Instead of 'login' and 'password' use your credentials from https://app.dataforseo.com/api-dashboard
$client = new RestClient($api_url, null, 'login', 'password');

$post_array = array();
// simple way to set a task
$post_array[] = array(
   "pages" => [
      "1" => "https://dataforseo.com/*",
      "2" => "https://ahrefs.com/*"
   ],
   "language_name" => "English",
   "location_code" => 2840
);
try {
   // POST /v3/dataforseo_labs/page_intersection/live
   $result = $client->post('/v3/dataforseo_labs/page_intersection/live', $post_array);
   print_r($result);
   // do something with post result
} catch (RestClientException $e) {
   echo "\n";
   print "HTTP code: {$e->getHttpCode()}\n";
   print "Error code: {$e->getCode()}\n";
   print "Message: {$e->getMessage()}\n";
   print  $e->getTraceAsString();
   echo "\n";
}
$client = null;
?>

The above command returns JSON structured like this:

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.

You can specify the number of results you want to retrieve and sort them.

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

Description of the fields for setting a task:

Field name Type Description
pages object target URLs of pages
required field
you can set up to 20 pages in this object
the pages should be specified with absolute URLs (including http:// or https://)
example:
"pages": {
"1":"https://www.apple.com/mac/*",
"2":"https://dataforseo.com/*",
"3":"https://support.microsoft.com/"
}
if you specify a single page here, we will return results only for this page;
you can also use a wildcard (‘*’) character to specify the search pattern
example:
"example.com"
search for the exact URL
"example.com/eng/*"
search for the example.com page and all its related URLs which start with ‘/eng/’, such as “example.com/eng/index.html” and “example.com/eng/help/”, etc.
note: a wilcard should be placed after the slash (‘/’) character in the end of the URL, it is not possible to place it after the domain in the following way:
https://dataforseo.com*
use https://dataforseo.com/* instead
