Hello, what API do I use to retrieve keyword data from Google? Similar to Ubersuggest and other tools.

I checked and found that Google has an API for this, Google Keyword Planner, but it is bureaucratic to have access to the API in production and it cannot be used by third parties, so how do these tools have this data?

They don’t get it clean. Most scrape it or run ads to unlock limited GKP access, then cache the data. Some buy data from resellers who rotate MCC accounts. Ubersuggest was known to scrape GKP for a while before switching to aggregated datasets. No public legit API for full keyword volume at scale unless you’re feeding Google ad spend.

In this case, does the campaign need to be active or have a minimum spend amount? Because I can have an active campaign that costs around $20 per month and have access to the API?

It needs to be active, but $20/month won’t cut it for consistent volume data. GKP gives tiered ranges depending on your spend — if you’re barely spending, you’ll just get ballpark numbers like 100–1K or 1K–10K. To unlock more granular data, you usually need to be dropping a few hundred bucks/month minimum.

But to have this API, do I need to go through some analysis? Because the flow I had was to do oauth2 with Google to receive the token, answer some forms, send documents, that is, very bureaucratic. Is that really the case?
 
is there any automated tool for blackhat PPC campaigns where we can run campaigns on Mass level without any restrictions. which covers all cloaking , proxy etc techniques?

There’s no one-click tool that does it all reliably. Most setups are custom stacks with Keitaro/Binom + custom cloakers + browser spoofing.

If you're willing to code a bit / are not afraid of APIs / Can handle Claude Code (or similar) - DataForSeo might be the way to go.
