Use it with your agent

Copy the prompt and paste it into your agent, then tell it what you need.

Questions

Is Google Ads Search Volume by DataForSEO free?

Scrollport has no free tier: it costs $0.1260 per request ($12.60 per 100 requests), paid per use from a prepaid wallet with no subscription. Connecting your first agent adds $1 of trial credit, so you can try it before adding funds.

Do I need an API key from DataForSEO?

No. Your agent runs it through your Scrollport connection (MCP, the Scrollport CLI or the HTTP API), and Scrollport handles access to DataForSEO, so you don't sign up with DataForSEO or manage an API key.

About this tool

Returns current Google Ads search-volume metrics, monthly search history, paid competition and bid data for a bounded keyword set. The live endpoint charges one fixed task fee whether the request contains one keyword or 1,000, so Scrollport prices the task once and never invents a per-keyword charge.
