Search volume for keywords as measured inside AI assistants rather than a search engine - how often people ask assistants about a term. Returns location_code, language_code, items_count and items. Measured at 1.2 KB. Batch keywords into one call rather than calling per keyword. Wrapped in DataForSEO’s envelope: data in tasks[0].result, outcome in tasks[0].status_code - a rejected request still returns HTTP 200. For classical search volume use post_dataforseo_keywords_gads_search_volume_live; the two answer different questions and often disagree.

Example

REST

curl -X POST "https://api.aisa.one/apis/v1/dataforseo/ai_optimization/ai_keyword_data/keywords_search_volume/live" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '[{"keywords": "...", "location_name": "...", "location_code": "..."}]'

First time? Point any MCP client at https://mcp.aisa.one/mcp — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and the rest. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser, you click Allow once, and there is no key to paste. Your agent then reaches every endpoint through a few meta tools: search, list_categories, get_details and batch_quote are free, batch_use is billed per call. Setup per client is in Connect via MCP; the live tool list and what each call costs are on aisa.one/mcp.

Cost and request rules

Usage-based billing; Default request estimate: $0.011 USD (not a fixed price). Account-specific pricing and final settlement may differ.

Published reference values are not an account-specific quote or a settled charge. For endpoints supporting X-AISA-Cost-Mode: quote, obtain a free quote for your exact request before execution; reconcile the settled cost with response metadata and Usage Logs. USD amounts use 1,000,000 integer micro-USD per dollar.

• Default request reference estimate (USD): 0.011
• Cost contract: response_usd
• Published reference multiplier: 1.0
• Settlement evidence source: response_body
