Volume and difficulty of searches
cvl_seo_keyword_metricsFor searches you name: monthly volume, difficulty, intent and the last 12 months of volume, as the provider estimates them. Each answer bought uses the account’s credits, inside this site’s daily limit, with no per-call confirmation. The answer is stored, so asking the same question again uses no credits (refresh: true buys again). cvl_usage shows what was used. Estimated at most 450 credits per answer bought; the charge is the provider’s actual cost. dry_run: true gives the estimate and today’s limit left without buying; confirm_cost caps it.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| fields | No | Top-level keys to keep, e.g. ["kpis"] — envelope keys, not metric names. See the server instructions. | |
| dry_run | No | true: buy nothing; answer the estimated credits (at most) and what is left of today’s limit. | |
| refresh | No | Buy a fresh answer instead of reading the stored one. Default false: the same question asked again is read back without using credits. | |
| keywords | Yes | One or more searches, at most 200, each at most 120 characters. | |
| confirm_cost | No | Run only if the estimate is at most this many credits; otherwise refuse and buy nothing. | |
| language_code | No | Language, like en. Omit for the market’s own. | |
| location_code | No | Country as a location code (e.g. 2784 for the United Arab Emirates). Omit for this site’s primary market, or the United States (2840) when none is set. |
