# Ahrefs API: get keyword ideas with search volume

Automatically get keyword ideas with search volume on ahrefs.com. An unofficial Ahrefs keyword API: keyword and question ideas for a seed, with monthly search volume and difficulty, free, no account. Get keyword ideas for a seed keyword from Ahrefs' free keyword generator, with each one's monthly Google search volume range and ranking difficulty in a chosen country. Returns the first 20 keywords that contain the seed, the first 20 phrased as questions, and how many of each Ahrefs knows in total. Volume comes as a range, as the free tool shows it: fewer than 100, or more than 100, 1,000, 10,000 or 100,000 searches a month. No login required. Run seeds one after another on one browser: several at once from the same browser can go unanswered.
