SEO Data API
Use one SEO API surface for prepared-keyword metrics, search-volume history, keyword suggestions, and related-query discovery.
Available SEO APIs
Choose Keyword Difficulty, Keyword Overview, Keyword Search Volume, Keyword Suggestions, or Related Keywords according to the research question.
What SEO data can you retrieve?
SocQ normalizes keyword records while preserving complete source objects for endpoint-specific fields.
Difficulty and overview signals
Compare organic difficulty, demand, paid competition, intent, and monthly observations when available.
Search-volume history
Measure prepared keyword lists with current search demand, CPC, competition, and monthly history.
Suggestion and relationship discovery
Expand a seed query into suggested or related terms with metrics and relationship context.
SocQ SEO APIs vs separate keyword integrations
SocQ places five keyword-research capabilities behind one authenticated asynchronous task and stored-result contract.
| Capability | SocQ | Separate integration |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Difficulty, overview, volume, suggestions, and related terms | Endpoint-specific integrations |
| Task workflow | Submit, poll, and read normalized records | Build request, retry, persistence, and result handling |
| Result context | Normalized fields plus complete source objects | Provider-specific response objects |
| Pricing | Endpoint-specific input, request, or result pricing | Provider-specific billing logic |
How the SEO API works
All five endpoints use the shared SocQ asynchronous lifecycle and cursor-based stored result pages.
1. Select a workflow
Submit a prepared keyword list or one seed query with the endpoint's supported market settings.
2. Track the task
Poll /v1/tasks/{task_id} until the task succeeds or fails.
3. Read keyword records
Read data.results.items and follow next_cursor while has_more is true.
This example enriches a prepared term list; use the catalog cards for the other four endpoint-specific payloads.
curl -X POST "https://api.socq.ai/v1/seo/keyword-overview" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCQ_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"keywords":["keyword research","seo analytics"],"location_code":2840,"language_code":"en"}'
# Poll GET /v1/tasks/{task_id}
# Read data.results.items and follow next_cursor while has_more is trueCommon SEO API use cases
Prepared-list prioritization
Compare demand and difficulty across terms already selected for research.
Long-tail discovery
Expand a seed into suggested and related queries for briefs or campaign planning.
Trend and intent segmentation
Group terms by available monthly demand, competition, and classified intent.
Limits and interpretation
Inputs, available fields, bounds, and billing differ by endpoint and search context.
- Difficulty, overview, and search-volume endpoints accept prepared keyword arrays; suggestion and related endpoints accept one seed query.
- Market, language, depth, limit, and offset support depends on the selected endpoint.
- Returned rows or individual metrics can be absent when source data is unavailable.
- Paid competition, organic difficulty, search volume, and classified intent are distinct signals.
- extra remains a flexible complete source object rather than a stable normalized schema.
