Is there a way to extract Google Keyword Tools data?

8 replies
Hi warriors.

I have been working on php recently, and am having alot of trouble in extracting keywords data from googles keyword tool. What I am trying to do is, integrate it so that I can make a keyword research software which can pull in keywords data, such as searches, competition trends etc. However, I dont want to scrape the info and get my ip banned, so is there any other way to put into php and get access to these keywords data. This is only to use for searching for keywords and suggestions, and nothing more, no paid research, no adwords etc, just to do what you can do on the actual keyword tool, but be able to do it in a software. I am also adding other features which are already done. Its just trying to get the google keyword tool integrated somehow, any help would be great.

Kind Regards

    Perhaps the TargetingIdeaService of the Google Adwords API is what you're looking for.

    scraping google adwords is nearly impossible, but can be done and is the only free option.

    The other option is to use the adwords API which is costly for traffic estimator lookups.

    I see, I dont really want to scrape google adwords data and get banned, so thats already out of the question. Im not too fussed about the traffic estimation, more about getting keyword ideas and suggestions from a seed keyword I will enter. I cant seem to find pricing anywhere also, but I want a free solution which can be integrated without major costs really.

    Thanks for the TargetingServiceIdea, Ive looked into this!...However, The issue with this is, do I have to pay to use the adwords API such as the TargetingIdeaService, as it mentions alot to do with budget, Im not interested in actually using it for adwords, just want to use it for research only, and to check indexed pages and competition really. Im going to do free research, but just want to put everything into one screen, rather than having to switch around different pages to find keywords, then analyze, and decide. Would prefer to have all the info I need on one page using googles tool, I will code it, which isnt an issue, just a matter of if I have to pay to use it or if it is free.

    Kind Regards

    You have to get past a Captcha to get that data ...

    Thanks for that Steve! I see, so if I was to go for the targetserviceidea api, is that just using one API unit?

    So it costs to use the service, it doesnt really help in telling me how much it would be per month, as this software will be sold as well. Would the costs rise for each user using it, or will it be a one off cost to just use one service to get keyword results and data. I am having trouble getting keyword data from there, or from anywhere else, and just need some guidance before I go ahead with it, I dont want to incur loads of expenses by selling the software, due to a huge amount of searches from customers.

    Kind Regards

    i see, so if I was to setup a software and sell it, I would need to provide a monthly subscription wont I, just to avoid incurring extra costs.

    Can keywords and suggestions be extracted from google insights, trends and suggestions without using an API?
