SEO and digital-marketing data through APIs and databases.
DataForSEO provides REST APIs and databases for SEO and digital-marketing workflows, including SERP, keyword, backlink, domain analytics, on-page, business, merchant, app-data, content-analysis, and AI-optimization data.
DataForSEO is an API-first data supplier for building SEO software, data pipelines, and automations. Its docs describe HTTP REST APIs with endpoint-specific rate-limit headers and a task-oriented retrieval model for many products.
Technical SEO, growth, data, and AI teams that need programmable search and marketing data and can model usage-level API costs.
Teams that need a general GTM contact-data platform or a ready-made SEO application should look elsewhere: the documented product is a developer-facing stack of SEO and marketing data APIs. Very low-volume experiments also need to account for the stated $50 minimum payment, even though pricing is pay-as-you-go.
No curated rival set covers this tool yet, so these are simply other tools in the same architectural layer and product form. Treat it as a starting point, not a shortlist.
Its docs position the API for SEO software, data-analysis pipelines, and no-code automations. The pricing page lists products covering SERP, keyword, backlink, domain, on-page, business, merchant, app, content-analysis, and AI-optimization data.
Yes. The documentation says it uses REST over HTTP and returns JSON by default, with XML available by appending .xml and selected HTML results available by appending .html.
The docs list supported clients for PHP, C#, Java, Python, and TypeScript, alongside PHP, Python, C#, and Postman examples.
The documentation describes a Standard workflow that posts a task and later retrieves results, and a Live method that returns an immediate response for supported APIs.
The docs state that Standard results are generally stored for 30 days, Live results are not stored, and HTML results are stored for seven days; SERP JSON results are stored for 30 days for both Standard and Live methods.
The pricing page says customers pay for individual services used under a pay-as-you-go model, with a $50 minimum payment and custom quotes available for APIs and databases.
The integrations page lists connectors for tools including Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n, Airtable, Pabbly, and Lindy. It also says DataForSEO has an MCP server, but we did not retrieve a confirmed MCP documentation page or tool list.
This page tells you whether DataForSEO fits. Cheetah builds and runs the system it goes into — enrichment, sequencing, CRM and the joins between them.
