Questions

Is Keyword Overview by DataForSEO free?

Scrollport has no free tier: it costs $0.0168 per request ($1.68 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 a consolidated Google keyword view for a bounded location and language, including monthly demand, paid competition, CPC, intent, SEO difficulty and optional SERP summary fields.
