Input
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| keywords | array | Yes | ["python tutorial"] | One or more seeds. 1-3 word seeds return the most suggestions. Each seed is expanded according to `mode`. |
| mode | string | No | all | How each seed is expanded. `all` runs every strategy; `exact` queries only the seed; `alphabet` adds a-z and 0-9 before and after; `questions` uses locale question words; `modifiers` adds prepositions and buyer-intent words; `related` adds trailing-space, wildcard, local, review and price variants. |
| country | string | No | US | Google market used for the `gl` parameter. Changes ranking and local phrasing. 134 markets were verified against the live endpoint; the legacy `ALL` value maps to US. |
| language | string | No | en | Language used for the `hl` parameter and for the locale-aware question and modifier words. 19 languages have native expansion vocabularies; the rest fall back to English modifiers. |
| source | string | No | web | Which Google autocomplete surface to query: web, YouTube or Shopping. `all` runs all three and multiplies the request count. |
| maxItems | integer | No | 5000 | Hard cap on dataset records across all seeds and sources. Flat mode counts suggestions; tree mode counts one record per seed/source. |
| maxSuggestionsPerSeed | integer | No | – | Cap on suggestions collected for one seed, applied after all expansion queries have run. Defaults to 2,000 when omitted (legacy maxItemsPerKeyword is honoured). |
| minLength | integer | No | – | Drop suggestions shorter than this many characters. |
| maxLength | integer | No | – | Drop suggestions longer than this many characters. |
| containsKeyword | string | No | – | Keep only suggestions containing this substring (case-insensitive). Prefix with `!` to exclude matches instead. |
Show the other 4 settings
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| outputFormat | string | No | flat | `flat` emits one row per suggestion. `tree` emits one row per seed and source with a nested suggestions array (the legacy shape). |
| expansionDepth | string | No | 0 | Re-query the first 15 discovered suggestions to go one or two levels deeper. Off for the cheapest run. |
| dedupeAcrossSeeds | boolean | No | false | Emit a phrase only once per run. Off keeps every seed complete; on removes overlaps between seeds. |
| includeIntent | boolean | No | true | Add a deterministic intent tag (question, comparison, local, transactional, commercial, informational) where a language vocabulary matches. |

What a run costs
The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.
| Apify plan | Per 1,000 | 10,000 results | 100,000 results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free plan | $0.99 | $9.90 | $99 |
| Starter plan | $0.82 | $8.20 | $82 |
| Scale plan | $0.66 | $6.60 | $66 |
| Business plan | $0.49 | $4.90 | $49 |
- Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
- The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
- Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
- Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.

Stops are fields. A ring means the field is in that route's published output schema; no ring means the line passes without it. Bold labels are the core fields for this website, the rest are fields that differ between routes. A white capsule means every data line stops there. The red line is the official API; its field coverage is not compared. A crossed red line means there is no open official API.
Official route: Programmable Search Engine JSON API
Limited access. Google's programmable search API returns results for a configured search engine. It is not a general replacement for the live Google results page.
