Input

Input settings for Google Autocomplete Keyword Expansion Scraper
SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat 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.

SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat 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.

Run it from code or an AI agent

The same run through the Apify API, with the example input. You need an Apify API token; the run is billed to your account at the Store price.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
    "keywords": [
        "python tutorial"
    ],
    "mode": "exact",

    "outputFormat": "flat",
    "expansionDepth": "0",
    "dedupeAcrossSeeds": False,
    "includeIntent": False
}

run = client.actor("dataspryva/google-autocomplete-keyword-expansion-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

pip install apify-client

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });
const input = {
    "keywords": [
        "python tutorial"
    ],
    "mode": "exact",
    "country": "US",
    "language": "en",
    "source": "web",

    "maxSuggestionsPerSeed": 3,
    "outputFormat": "flat",
    "expansionDepth": "0",
    "dedupeAcrossSeeds": false,
    "includeIntent": false
};

const run = await client.actor("dataspryva/google-autocomplete-keyword-expansion-scraper").call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

npm install apify-client

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/dataspryva~google-autocomplete-keyword-expansion-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"keywords":["python tutorial"],"mode":"exact","country":"US","language":"en","source":"web","maxItems":3,"maxSuggestionsPerSeed":3,"outputFormat":"flat","expansionDepth":"0","dedupeAcrossSeeds":false,"includeIntent":false}'

Waits for the run and returns the dataset items (runs over 300 seconds return HTTP 408; start an async run instead).

MCP (AI agents)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=dataspryva/google-autocomplete-keyword-expansion-scraper",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.

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.

Cost of Google Autocomplete Keyword Expansion Scraper results by Apify plan
Apify planPer 1,00010,000 results100,000 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.

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.
