Safe API request planner

Keyword Research API

Plan a keyword ideas, metrics, or question-keyword request; configure market parameters; and copy formatted cURL and JSON examples without entering an API secret.

API request planner

Configure a safe sample request and inspect its expected shape.

No credentials collected

Use case and endpoint

Expand one seed into related topic candidates.

Seed keyword

Use a specific product, problem, or topic as the seed.

POST /v1/keywords/ideas

Example only · not sent

Safe authentication pattern

The sample reads $KEYWORD_API_TOKEN from your environment. Never paste a real API token into a browser-based request builder.

cURL request

curl --request POST 'https://api.your-provider.example/v1/keywords/ideas' \
+  --header 'Authorization: Bearer $KEYWORD_API_TOKEN' \
+  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  --data '{
  "seed": "content marketing software",
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en",
  "limit": 25
}'

JSON body

{
  "seed": "content marketing software",
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en",
  "limit": 25

Endpoint names, response values, limits, and metrics are deterministic examples for integration planning. Replace them with your provider’s documented contract and authenticated response.

Plan before you integrate

Turn a keyword workflow into a clear API contract

A keyword research API lets software request keyword ideas and metrics in a repeatable format. A useful integration starts with a defined use case, market, language, batch size, authentication pattern, and response fields—not just an endpoint URL.

This planner creates deterministic examples only. It does not make a live request, validate an account, consume credits, or claim that the sample endpoint belongs to SearchVector or another provider. Use the generated structure as a checklist against the documentation for the API you choose.

Purpose first

Separate discovery, bulk metrics, and question research so each request has one clear job.

Market parameters

Keep country and language explicit because keyword demand and wording vary by market.

Safe credentials

Reference an environment variable instead of pasting secrets into code samples or browser fields.

Known response shape

Plan the fields your pipeline will parse before wiring a provider into production.

How it works

Build an integration-ready
request plan

Every output is an editable example, not a live authenticated API response.

Choose the API job

Select keyword ideas, bulk metrics, or question keywords and enter a focused seed or batch.

Set market parameters

Choose country, language, and a bounded result limit that your application can process safely.

Copy and adapt

Review the cURL, JSON body, and illustrative response, then map them to your provider's real documentation.

Integration checklist

What to define before your first API call

Reliable keyword pipelines make assumptions visible and handle provider limits deliberately.

Endpoint purpose

Use distinct request shapes for expanding seeds, retrieving metrics, and finding question patterns.

Seed strategy

Start with specific topics, products, problems, or a controlled keyword batch instead of an unbounded query.

Localization

Pass explicit country and language values, then confirm the provider's supported codes and defaults.

Secret handling

Store tokens server-side or in environment variables and prevent them from reaching logs or client bundles.

Response mapping

Define how keyword, volume, difficulty, CPC, pagination, and missing values map into your data model.

Failure handling

Plan for invalid parameters, authentication errors, rate limits, timeouts, partial batches, and retries.
