Each POST to /v1/serp/google-autocomplete returns the live suggestions Google shows as a user types your seed query — the same predictions surfaced in the search box, captured as structured data.
Every suggestion is a full predicted completion of your seed term, so you get the exact phrasing real users see rather than guessing at long-tail variants.
Because autocomplete reflects popular real-world queries, the returned completions act as direct intent signals you can mine for content topics and keyword expansion.
Set the location and language fields to pull the suggestions Google serves in a specific country and locale, since predictions are heavily regionalized.
The type field on each item lets you separate standard query completions from any other suggestion blocks Google returns.

console.log(data);Google Autocomplete API — mine real search intent for keyword research
The YepAPI Google Autocomplete API returns the live suggestions Google shows as users type, delivered as structured JSON. Send a seed query and get back the predicted completions — the raw material for keyword research and content ideation.
It shares one key with the rest of YepAPI's SERP, scraping, and AI endpoints, so you can expand keywords with autocomplete and then check their rankings on the organic SERP endpoint in the same workflow at $0.01 per query.
What is a Google Autocomplete API?
A Google Autocomplete API lets you programmatically fetch the suggestions Google predicts as someone types a query, returned as structured data instead of a live dropdown. For a seed term it returns the ranked list of query completions Google would surface in the search box — the exact long-tail phrasings real users see and click. Because these predictions are driven by actual search popularity, they are a direct window into search intent, making the endpoint a fast way to discover keyword variants, question phrasings, and emerging topics without a browser automating the search box.
Build your own keyword research tool
With autocomplete predictions as JSON you can build a keyword-expansion engine, a content-idea generator, or a long-tail discovery tool. Feed a seed term, collect every completion, then recurse on each suggestion (and alphabet-soup variants) to map an entire intent space. Pair it with the YepAPI organic SERP endpoint to score each discovered keyword by what already ranks, turning raw suggestions into a prioritized content plan with both intent and competition data.
Google Autocomplete API pricing — $0.01 per query
Each call to /v1/serp/google-autocomplete is a flat $0.01 per seed query, no matter how many suggestions come back. No subscriptions, no minimums. SerpApi charges $0.05 per query and keyword tools bundle autocomplete into pricey monthly plans. Because YepAPI prices every SERP endpoint at $0.01, recursive autocomplete expansion across thousands of seeds stays affordable.
Turn suggestions into content ideas
Autocomplete shows what people actually search before they finish typing. Use the endpoint to harvest question-based and modifier-rich completions for your seed topics, then cluster them into briefs your writers can act on. Run the same seed with different location and language values to capture region-specific demand — invaluable for localizing content and finding gaps competitors have not covered in each market.
