Setting Live ‘DataForSEO Trends Merged Data’ Tasks
This endpoint will provide you with the keyword popularity data from DataForSEO Trends. In addition to keyword popularity rate over the given time range, you will get location-specific keyword popularity data, and a demographic breakdown of keyword popularity per each specified term along with comparative values.
You can check keyword trends for Google Search, Google News, and Google Shopping.
How our algorithm works: Our algorithm provides insights into the popularity of specific keywords based on their association with relevant web pages, news articles, or shopping listings, as well as the popularity of each relevant piece of content. We also combine this information with anonymous user web behavior data from various sources. Learn more on our Help Center.
You will get information for every single keyword in an array.
You can send up to 5 keywords in one keywords array. Our system will charge your account per each request, no matter what number of keywords an array has.
