Verdicts

Google Search Console API

The API is free, with published quotas of 1,200 Search Analytics queries a minute per site and typed filters that accept regular expressions. It covers only properties the signed-in user manages, returns at most 50,000 rows a day per search type, and has no status page, SLA or dedicated changelog. A person must complete OAuth consent first.

Keywords Everywhere API + MCP

Fourteen read-only lookups with a published credit cost each, available over REST and a hosted MCP server listed in the official registry. Data needs an annual plan from $84, with no trial. No OpenAPI file, no REST rate limit and no API changelog were found, and the status page shows outages on seven of the last 90 days.

Before you call either

Google Search Console API

  1. URL-encode the property in the path. A URL-prefix property needs its trailing slash, and a Domain property is written sc-domain:example.com
  2. Query one day at a time and page with startRow in steps of 25,000 until a response has no rows
  3. Leave page and query out of dimensions when totals must be accurate. Grouping by either drops some data
  4. Ask for webmasters.readonly unless the task adds or deletes properties or sitemaps
  5. After a quota exceeded error wait 15 minutes. If it repeats, the daily load quota is spent, so shorten date ranges and drop page or query grouping

Keywords Everywhere API + MCP

  1. Send the key as Authorization: Bearer <key> to https://api.keywordseverywhere.com/v1. The same key works on the MCP server
  2. Call GET /v1/account/credits (free) before a large pull. A short balance returns 402 with 402 Insufficient Credits
  3. Set num on domain, URL and backlink lookups. It accepts 1 to 10,000 and every returned row is charged 1, 2 or 5 credits
  4. Batch up to 100 keywords in one get_keyword_data call and set country. Without it the figures are global
  5. Keep MCP use under 120 tool calls a minute per account, and wait a minute after a Too many requests error
