DataForSEO
Get keyword metrics, backlinks, rankings and search results, inspect sites and business data, or submit and retrieve supported DataForSEO tasks.
Call
With Crab signed in to Cloud, replace owner/dataforseo with the address of a running deployment you can access. If this page only offers a template, deploy a copy first.
crab call owner/dataforseo keyword_volume '{"input":{"body":[{"keywords":["rust hosting","wasm hosting"],"location_code":2840,"language_code":"en"}]}}'
Returns the upstream task envelope, including results, task IDs and costs. Live tools return their immediate results; task-submission tools return IDs for explicit retrieval.
On a callable deployment, you can also open a tool on this page to call it, or connect your agent through CrabTalk MCP. Calls use this deployment’s provider credentials.
Deploy your own
If this page offers Deploy your own, use it to create a private copy with your own credentials and state. The CLI equivalent is:
crab deploy --from owner/dataforseo
Set DATAFORSEO_AUTH_TOKEN through credential setup to the Base64 encoding of API_LOGIN:API_PASSWORD, without the Basic prefix. Use the API credentials from your DataForSEO account, not the account password. Requests spend the connected DataForSEO balance.
Template deployment needs a published image. To build a modified version or deploy when no template is published, use the source instructions.
Usage notes
POST tools take an array of task objects under input.body; GET path parameters go under input.path. Live endpoints accept one task per call; Standard task submission limits depend on the tool.
Envelope and task failures return errors containing the original response, including successful tasks in a mixed result. Created tasks and explicitly partial results remain responses.
Calls do not poll, paginate or retry automatically. Google Events Live Advanced and Pinterest Live are not included.
