What you can automate

What can the DataForSEO Keywords Data API Make integration do for you?

The DataForSEO Keywords Data API Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build as a chain of modules, ask DataForSEO for keyword data and pass the answer to your other tools. Each module is one request: search volume, keyword ideas, ad traffic estimates or trends, for Google, Bing or DataForSEO's own sources.

A keyword brief that fills itself. A content writer drops a seed term into a sheet; Get Live Google Keywords for Keywords returns related ideas and Get Live Google Search Volume adds the demand behind each one, ready to sort.

A paid search reality check. Before a PPC manager opens a new ad group, Get Google Ad Traffic By Keywords and Get Bing Keyword Performance put an estimate of clicks and cost next to the list, so the budget talk starts from data.

A trend watch for a product line. An online shop can send its category names to Get Live DataForSEO Trends Explore or Get Google Trends Explore and store how interest moves, region by region with Get Live DataForSEO Trends Subregion Interests.

What the app does not do in Make: it has no trigger, so nothing starts on its own. Your scenario starts on a schedule or on another app, and the modules answer when asked. The Make documentation also warns that its page for this app is AI-generated, so check anything important with DataForSEO. If you want someone to build it with you, the Make agency team can help, and n8n vs Make sets out how the two tools differ. Plan limits are covered in Make pricing.

Connect

How do you connect your DataForSEO account to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a module and open the connection window

    In your Make account, add any DataForSEO Keywords Data API module to a scenario, then click Create a connection. A connection is your DataForSEO account linked to Make once and reused by every module of the app.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    Typing a label in Connection name is optional, but it pays off when you run a client account and an internal one side by side: you will pick the right one from a list later.

  3. 03

    Paste your API credentials

    In your DataForSEO dashboard, open the API access section, copy the login and the password displayed there, and paste them into Make. You need an active DataForSEO account for this step to work.

First scenario

Your first scenario with DataForSEO Keywords Data API

GoalWhen the scenario runs, Make asks DataForSEO for ideas around a seed keyword, then fetches the Google search volume of those ideas.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to place the first module. Search for DataForSEO Keywords Data API by name.

  2. 02

    Start with keyword ideas

    Pick Get Live Google Keywords for Keywords, choose your connection, and fill in the module fields with the seed term you want to expand, for example the main topic of your next guide.

  3. 03

    Add the volume lookup

    Click the + on the right of the first module and add Get Live Google Search Volume. Map the keywords returned by the previous module into its fields instead of typing them again.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario one time and shows the bundles each module received, a bundle being one item passed along. Check that the volumes match the ideas you expected.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch it on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Add a module from another app with the + when you want the results stored somewhere.

Modules

The 32 DataForSEO Keywords Data API modules in Make

DataForSEO Keywords Data API gives you 32 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

DataForSEO Keywords Data API1

Get Bing Ads Audience Estimation

ActionIn the docs only

Gives you a sense of how many people a Bing Ads targeting setup could reach, so a campaign idea gets a size before anyone spends on it.

When to use it
a client asks whether Microsoft Advertising is worth testing for a niche audience and you want an estimate inside the proposal scenario.
Watch out
it is a separate module from its Live counterpart; run both once and keep the one whose output suits your flow.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API2

Get Bing Keyword Performance

ActionIn the docs only

Returns performance data for keywords on Bing, which helps you judge whether a term is likely to bring paid clicks there before you bid on it.

When to use it
you are cloning a Google Ads campaign to Microsoft Advertising and want to trim the keyword list first.
Watch out
the Make documentation does not list its fields; open the module after connecting to see what it asks for.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API3

Get Bing Keyword Suggestions for URL

ActionIn the docs only

Starts from a web page address instead of a word and brings back keyword suggestions from Bing that relate to that page.

When to use it
a new landing page goes live and you want ad keywords that fit what it actually says, without brainstorming from scratch.
Watch out
pass one URL per bundle; if a previous module sends many pages, each one costs an operation on your plan.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API4

Get Bing Keywords for Keywords

ActionIn the docs only

Expands a short list of seed terms into related keywords drawn from Bing, a quick way to widen a list that feels too thin.

When to use it
your audience skews toward Bing users and Google-only research keeps missing the phrases they type.
Watch out
the Google version of this module is a different request; compare the two outputs once before building reports on either.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API5

Get Bing Keywords for Site

ActionIn the docs only

Looks at a whole domain and suggests the Bing keywords it could be relevant for, which works well as a first map of a competitor.

When to use it
a prospect sends their website and you want a keyword starting point in the audit before the first call.
Watch out
a site-level answer can be long; test with Run once and read the bundle before mapping it into a sheet.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API6

Get Bing Search Volume

ActionIn the docs only

Tells you how often a keyword is searched on Bing, the number you need before deciding if a term is worth a page or an ad.

When to use it
a keyword list already exists in a spreadsheet and each row needs its Bing demand filled in.
Watch out
this is the non-Live variant; the documentation does not explain the difference, so test it against Get Live Bing Search Volume.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API7

Get Bing Search Volume History

ActionIn the docs only

Brings back how Bing search demand for a keyword has moved over past periods, so you can spot seasonality instead of relying on one figure.

When to use it
you plan a seasonal campaign and need to see when interest usually rises before it starts.
Watch out
the Make doc says nothing about the shape of the answer; read the bundle after Run once before deciding where each value goes.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API8

Get Google Ad Traffic By Keywords

ActionIn the docs only

Estimates the traffic a set of keywords could bring through Google Ads, which turns a raw list into something you can discuss with a budget owner.

When to use it
you are sizing a new campaign and the client wants a forecast attached to the keyword proposal.
Watch out
treat the output as an estimate from DataForSEO, not a promise; say so wherever the numbers end up.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API9

Get Google Keywords for Keywords

ActionIn the docs only

Feeds Google a few seed terms and gets back a longer list of related keywords, the classic way to grow an editorial plan.

When to use it
a blog owner has three topics in mind and needs dozens of angles to choose from.
Watch out
it has a Live twin with a very similar name; pick one and stick to it so your sheets stay comparable.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API10

Get Google Keywords for Site

ActionIn the docs only

Takes a domain and returns Google keywords linked to it, handy to see which topics a site already speaks to in the eyes of Google.

When to use it
you onboard a new client and want a baseline keyword set before writing any recommendation.
Watch out
enter the domain the way the module asks; check the field help in Make, since the doc gives no format.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API11

Get Google Search Volume

ActionIn the docs only

Returns the Google search volume of the keywords you send, so every term in your list gets a demand figure next to it.

When to use it
writers submit topic ideas through a form and you want each one scored before the editorial meeting.
Watch out
send keywords as a group when the module allows it rather than one bundle per term, to keep operations down.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API13

Get Live Bing Ads Audience Estimation

ActionIn the docs only

The Live variant of the Bing audience estimate, giving you a reach figure for a targeting idea directly inside the scenario run.

When to use it
a sales form collects a prospect's target market and you want a reach estimate attached to the lead.
Watch out
the doc does not describe what separates Live from standard modules; compare both outputs with Run once first.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API14

Get Live Bing Keyword Performance

ActionIn the docs only

Returns Bing keyword performance through the Live request, so you can check how terms are expected to behave on Microsoft Advertising.

When to use it
an account manager reviews a keyword list sent by a client and wants performance data before the call.
Watch out
map only the fields you really use downstream; a wide answer makes the next modules harder to read.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API15

Get Live Bing Keyword Suggestions for URL

ActionIn the docs only

Reads a page address and returns Bing keyword suggestions in the Live flavor, useful when the input is a URL rather than a term.

When to use it
your CMS publishes a new article and you want candidate keywords logged against it for ads or internal linking.
Watch out
test it on one of your own pages first and read the suggestions before you feed it a whole list.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API16

Get Live Bing Keywords for Keywords

ActionIn the docs only

Widens a seed list with related Bing keywords using the Live endpoint, so a narrow idea turns into a usable shortlist.

When to use it
a B2B marketer knows the audience searches on Bing at work and wants phrases that Google research missed.
Watch out
expansion modules can return many ideas per seed; add a filter before any module that costs extra operations.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API17

Get Live Bing Keywords for Site

ActionIn the docs only

Suggests Bing keywords for a whole domain via the Live request, a fast way to see how a site is positioned for that engine.

When to use it
you compare your site with two competitors and want each domain's keyword set side by side in one sheet.
Watch out
run it once per domain and label each result, or the rows from different sites blur together.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API18

Get Live Bing Search Volume

ActionIn the docs only

Fetches Bing search volume for your keywords through the Live endpoint, giving each term the demand figure it was missing.

When to use it
a new keyword arrives in your tracking sheet and you want its Bing volume written back on the same row.
Watch out
keep either this module or the standard Bing volume one across a project, since mixing both can make columns disagree.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API19

Get Live Bing Search Volume History

ActionIn the docs only

Shows past Bing search demand for a keyword through the Live request, so you read a curve rather than a single snapshot.

When to use it
a travel or retail client asks when searches for their product usually peak on Bing.
Watch out
the doc does not describe the output; check with Run once how the periods arrive before adding an iterator.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API20

Get Live Bulk Clickstream Search Volume

ActionIn the docs only

Returns search volume based on clickstream data for many keywords in one go, a second opinion next to Google or Bing figures.

When to use it
you audit a large keyword list and want an alternative volume source to cross-check the numbers.
Watch out
clickstream figures come from a different source, so do not expect them to match Google volumes line by line.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API21

Get Live Clickstream Global Search Volume

ActionIn the docs only

Gives a worldwide search volume estimate built on clickstream data, useful when your market is not limited to one country.

When to use it
a SaaS team selling internationally wants one global demand figure per feature keyword.
Watch out
a global figure hides local differences; pair it with a country-level module before choosing where to invest.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API22

Get Live DataForSEO Search Volume

ActionIn the docs only

Returns search volume from DataForSEO's own source instead of Google or Bing, another reference point for your keyword list.

When to use it
you want one consistent volume column across engines rather than switching between Google and Bing numbers.
Watch out
document in your sheet which source each column uses, or teammates will compare numbers that do not share a method.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API27

Get Live Google Ad Traffic By Keywords

ActionIn the docs only

Forecasts Google Ads traffic for your keywords through the Live endpoint, putting expected clicks next to every term.

When to use it
a freelancer sends quotes for search campaigns and wants the forecast generated when the quote form is submitted.
Watch out
label these figures as estimates in any client document; they are DataForSEO forecasts, not results.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API28

Get Live Google Keywords for Keywords

ActionIn the docs only

Turns a seed keyword into a list of related Google keywords with the Live request, the natural first module of a research scenario.

When to use it
an editor adds a topic to the content calendar and wants suggestions attached before assigning a writer.
Watch out
each idea may become its own bundle downstream; filter by relevance before sending them to a paid module.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API29

Get Live Google Keywords for Site

ActionIn the docs only

Returns Google keywords associated with a domain via the Live endpoint, giving you a quick read of what a site can rank for.

When to use it
a lead fills in your audit form with their website, and you want a keyword snapshot waiting in the CRM.
Watch out
check the answer on a domain you know well first, so you can tell good results from noise.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API30

Get Live Google Search Volume

ActionIn the docs only

Adds Google search volume to the keywords you send, using the Live endpoint, so a list of ideas becomes a ranked list.

When to use it
right after a keyword ideas module, to keep only the terms people actually search.
Watch out
map the keyword field from the previous module rather than typing it, or every run will return the same number.
DataForSEO Keywords Data API32

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

Lets you call any endpoint of the DataForSEO Keywords Data API from your scenario, with the same connection as the other modules.

When to use it
the request you need is not one of the listed modules, or you want an option the ready-made module does not show.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep DataForSEO's own API documentation open while you build it.

FAQ

DataForSEO Keywords Data API and Make: common questions

01Is the DataForSEO Keywords Data API Make integration free?
The Make side can be. DataForSEO Keywords Data API is a standard app, so it is available on the Free plan, which allows 2 active scenarios and a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs. Paid plans lower that interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. DataForSEO is separate: you need an active DataForSEO account with API access, and its subscription is described on the DataForSEO pricing page. Every module run counts as an operation on your Make plan, so a scenario that looks up many keywords uses more of your monthly credits.
02What do you need to connect DataForSEO Keywords Data API to Make?
An active DataForSEO account and its API credentials. In Make, add a DataForSEO Keywords Data API module and click Create a connection. Naming the connection is optional. Then paste the login and the password shown in the API access section of your DataForSEO dashboard. Once saved, the connection is reused by all 32 modules of the app, so you only do this once per account. If you manage several DataForSEO accounts, create one connection for each and give them clear names.
03Does DataForSEO Keywords Data API start a Make scenario in real time?
No, because the app has no trigger module. Its 32 modules are all actions: they answer when the scenario asks. To start a scenario, use the schedule on the first module, which is every 15 minutes by default and can be adjusted, or begin with a module from another app that calls Make when something happens, such as a new row or a form entry. The DataForSEO modules then run on the data that module passes along.
04What if the DataForSEO module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the DataForSEO Keywords Data API with the connection you already set up, so a request that has no ready-made module is still possible. You write the request yourself, which means reading DataForSEO's own API documentation. Keep in mind that Make's documentation for this app says it is AI-generated and may contain mistakes, so confirm important details with DataForSEO before relying on them.
05Should you use Make or n8n with DataForSEO Keywords Data API?
It depends on the tool you already work in. In Make, DataForSEO Keywords Data API comes with 32 ready modules plus Make an API Call, all sharing one connection, and scenarios are built in a visual editor. The same app often has an n8n node too, so check what that side offers for the requests you care about. Pick the platform your team already uses for its other automations, since keyword data rarely lives alone and has to reach sheets, CRMs or reports.
