Google Autocomplete Keyword Scraper

Hundreds of long-tail keywords per seed from Google, YouTube and Shopping autocomplete. From $0.0003 / keyword, pay per result, no browser, no login.

▶ Run it on Apify · Python example · All scrapers

Turn one keyword into hundreds of real search suggestions — exactly what people type in Google, YouTube and Google Shopping. The Actor expands each seed with A–Z, 0–9, question words and prepositions (in the right language), deduplicates everything and returns clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Free keyword research at scale, no browser, no API key.

✅ Google Search, YouTube and Google Shopping autocomplete ✅ A–Z and 0–9 expansion — the classic “alphabet soup” long-tail method ✅ Question keywords (how, what, why… / como, porque… / comment, pourquoi…) in 6 languages — perfect for FAQ and blog content ✅ Prepositions (for, with, vs, near, best, cheap…) for buying-intent keywords ✅ Any country and language, several countries per run ✅ Deduplicated, with position, word count and the pattern that found each suggestion ✅ ~250 unique suggestions per seed in about 5 seconds

📌 Tips

❓ FAQ

Is this the same as Google Keyword Planner? No search volumes — these are the real queries Google suggests, ordered by Google. Combine with a volume tool or Google Trends.

Why do some letters return nothing? Google only suggests queries with enough searches; rare combinations return nothing and are not charged.

Which languages get localized questions? English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German and Italian; other languages fall back to English question words.

Is it legal? The Actor reads public autocomplete suggestions — no personal data. Respect the terms and laws that apply to you.
