Refining the keywords you retrieve by word count is now faster and easier than ever. We’ve added a simple numeric filter that makes keyword analysis with DataForSEO Labs API much more efficient.
What’s new
You can now filter keywords by the number of words across these DataForSEO Labs API endpoints:
The new filtering option can be found in the list of available filters as: "keyword_properties.words_count": "num".
How it works
To filter the keywords you get in the results by word count, specify the the desired number using the following filter directly in your API request:
"filters": ["keyword_properties.words_count", "=", 5]
This filter will quickly scan the values in a new words_count field for each keyword to deliver you only those matching your needs.
Each keyword returned in the supported endpoints will also show its words_count within the keyword_properties object.
Why it matters
Using the numeric filter helps you avoid heavy long-running tasks with like operator.
For instance, instead of "filters": ["keyword", "like", "% % %"], you can use "filters": ["keyword_properties.words_count", "=", 3].
The new option significantly reduces system load when processing large keyword sets, so you can expect faster query execution and improved performance.
