How to check the volume of keywords?

[Tintinabulator Zea]

Lets say i wanted to check the exact volume of like 100 million keywords.  Is this possible with the google adwords api ?

Isn't this how keyword tools like semrush, moz, ahrefs, etc work? They just use the google api?

Can anyone use it or do i have to be a big company? I'm just a kid with no tools or apps or anything.  

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Basically, the AdWords API can be used by anybody who wishes to utilize its many features and services for commercial or learning purposes. Users will need to sign up for an MCC account and acquire a developer token. For development in the production environment, users are required to apply for basic access while individuals who wish to learn more about the AdWords API first can opt to develop using test accounts. Users will then need to generate their OAuth2 credentials and download the client library of their choice.

As for getting keyword ideas similar to the Keywords Planner in the AdWords UI, you may then use the TargetingIdeaService and you may refer to this guide as to how. Please note that retrieving huge volumes of keywords will require you to breakdown your requests and even so, you will still need to keep in mind the different system and operational limits (please see our rate limits guide and rate sheet for more information) to avoid errors.

I hope this has been helpful and feel free to write back if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

Peter
