How To Programmatically Query Google For Search Volume

is there some way I can query Google for the search volume of a specific term? IE I type in "Roofer Chicago" and the result is "880 Searches Per Month"? I have been trying to do research on this but all of the previously vague answers are now certainly outdated. Thanks!

Solution

  • You could use a tool like KWFinder to determine average monthly search volume. If you request API access then you could programmatically call the api from your Google App Engine application.

    You can also use Google's Keyword Planner to determine the monthly search volume of a keyword (and closely related keywords). The specific details of this can be found here, but here is what they provide:

    What your search volume statistics mean

    Average monthly searches ("Avg. monthly searches"): The average number of times people have searched for a keyword and its close variants based on the targeting settings and date range you've selected. By default, we average the number of searches for the term over a 12-month period.

    An API for the Keyword Planner can be found here.
