}keywords, with how many they share. Returns se_type, seed_keywords, total_count, items_count and items. Measured at 894 bytes. This family is the one to reach for by default: the google_ads endpoints in seo-keywords answer similar questions but return megabytes with no way to cap them, where this one takes a limit. Wrapped in DataForSEO’s envelope: data in tasks[0].result, outcome in tasks[0].status_code - a rejected request still returns HTTP 200. ⚠️ These are search competitors, decided by shared rankings. The link-graph equivalent is post_dataforseo_backlinks_competitors_live, and the two lists often disagree - which is itself informative.

Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and the rest. Authorization is OAuth: the client
opens a browser, you click Allow once, and there is no key to paste. The
commands per client, and what each call costs, are on
aisa.one/mcp.Cost and request rules
Published reference values are not an account-specific quote or a settled charge. For endpoints supporting X-AISA-Cost-Mode: quote, obtain a free quote for your exact request before execution; reconcile the settled cost with response metadata and Usage Logs. USD amounts use 1,000,000 integer micro-USD per dollar.- Default request reference estimate (USD): 0.0192
- Cost contract: response_usd
- Published reference multiplier: 1.0
- Settlement evidence source: response_body

indicates if the subdomains will be included in the search
optional field
if set to false, the subdomains will be ignored
default value: true
search results type
indicates type of search results included in the response
optional field
possible values: ["organic", "paid", "featured_snippet", "local_pack"]
default value: ["organic", "paid"]
the maximum number of returned domains
optional field
default value: 100
maximum value: 1000
offset in the results array of returned domains
optional field
default value: 0
if you specify the 10 value, the first ten domains in the results array will be omitted and the data will be provided for the successive domains
array of results filtering parameters
optional field
you can add several filters at once (8 filters maximum)
you should set a logical operator and, or between the conditions
the following operators are supported:regex, not_regex, <, <=, >, >=, =, <>, in, not_in, match, not_match, ilike, not_ilike, like, not_like
you can use the % operator with like and not_like, as well as ilike and not_ilike to match any string of zero or more characters
example:["median_position","in",[1,10]]
[["median_position","in",[1,10]],"and",["domain","not_like","%wikipedia.org%"]]
[["domain","not_like","%wikipedia.org%"],"and",[["relevant_serp_items",">",0],"or",["median_position","in",[1,10]]]]
for more information about filters, please refer to Dataforseo Labs - Filters or this help center guide
results sorting rules

you can use the same values as in the filters array to sort the results
possible sorting types:asc - results will be sorted in the ascending orderdesc - results will be sorted in the descending order
the comma is used as a separator
example:["avg_position,asc"]
default rule:["rating,desc"]
note that you can set no more than three sorting rules in a single request
you should use a comma to separate several sorting rules
example:["avg_position,asc","etv,desc"]
user-defined task identifier
optional field
the character limit is 255
you can use this parameter to identify the task and match it with the result
you will find the specified tag value in the data object of the response
