Google Autocomplete API: Overview<\/h1>\n
\n \"checked\"\n\n This API provides keyword suggestions from Google Autocomplete <\/div>\n \n

Google Autocomplete API provides keyword suggestions based on the search query typed into the search bar.<\/p>\n

The returned suggestions are specific to the keyword, language<\/a> and location<\/a>, as well as cursor_pointer<\/code> and client<\/code> parameters. You can always check the returned results by accessing the check_url<\/code> in the Incognito mode to make sure the received data is entirely relevant. Note that user preferences, search history, and other personalized search factors are ignored by our system and thus would not be reflected in the returned SERP results.

Google Autocomplete API functions<\/h3>\n

 
\nGoogle Autocomplete API provides keyword suggestions results with an Advanced function<\/a>.
\n\u200c <\/p>\n

Methods<\/h3>\n

 
\nThe cost of using Google V2 SERP endpoints depends on the selected method and priority of task execution. Available methods and priorities are described below.<\/p>\n

DataForSEO has two main methods to deliver SERP results: Standard and Live.<\/p>\n

If your system requires delivering instant results, the Live method<\/a> is the best solution for you. Unlike the Standard method, this method doesn\u2019t require making separate POST<\/a> and GET<\/a> requests to the corresponding endpoints.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t need to receive data in real-time, you can use the Standard method<\/a> of data retrieval. This method requires making separate POST<\/a> and GET<\/a> requests, but it\u2019s more affordable. Using this method, you can retrieve the results after our system collects them.<\/p>\n

\u200cAlternatively, you can specify pingback_url<\/code> or postback_url<\/code> when setting a task, and we will notify you on completion of tasks or send the results to you respectively. Note that if you use the postback_url<\/code> field, you should also indicate the function that will be applied for data retrieval: advanced<\/code> or html<\/code>. <\/p>\n

If you use the Standard method without specifying pingback_url<\/code> or postback_url<\/code>, you can receive the list of id for all completed tasks using the ‘Tasks Ready’<\/strong> endpoint. It is designed to provide you with the list of completed tasks, which haven’t been collected yet. Then, you can retrieve the results using the \u2018Task GET\u2019<\/strong> endpoint.<\/p>\n

Learn more about task completion and obtaining a list of completed tasks in this help center article.<\/a> <\/p>\n

You can send up to 2000 POST and GET API calls per minute in total, with each POST call containing no more than 100 tasks. Contact us if you would like to raise the limit.
\n \u200c<\/p>\n

Cost<\/h3>\n

 
\nThe Live method delivers results in real-time, and accordingly, the cost of requests made using this method will be the highest.<\/p>\n

The Standard method has two different priorities that stand for the relative speed of task execution and have different prices:<\/p>\n

1. Normal priority;
\n2. High priority.<\/p>\n

The cost can be calculated on the Pricing<\/a> page. To learn more about the cost of all SERP API methods, priorities, and additional parameters, please refer to this help article<\/a>.<\/p>\n
