# Google Ads keyword ideas with volume and bid ranges

`POST /api/v1/tools/google_research_keywords/execute`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://adako.ai`
- URL: `https://adako.ai/api/v1/tools/google_research_keywords/execute`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Asks Google Keyword Planner for keyword ideas from seed terms or a landing page, and returns average monthly searches, competition and the top-of-page bid range for each.
Use when: planning a new campaign, expanding an existing one, or checking whether a term has any real search volume.
Do not use when: the user wants the performance of keywords they already run (google_get_keyword_performance) or the queries that triggered their ads (google_analyze_search_terms).
Volumes are broad averages Google rounds heavily, and bid ranges are estimates, not what you will pay. Pass location_ids (from google_resolve_locations) and language_id (from google_list_languages) for the market the campaign will target: without locations Google reports worldwide volumes, and without a language it includes keywords in every language, which overstates what one country can deliver. The answer states which market the numbers cover.
Keyword Planner needs at least Basic API access; on a lower access level this returns access_level_insufficient — say so plainly and suggest planning from search-term data instead.
If you are unsure which account, campaign or period the user means, ask them — do not guess ids or dates.

## Headers
