POSThttps://seolyticize.com/api/v1/tools/get_domain_keyword_gap

The keywords up to five competitors rank for in Google and the client does not (mode missing), that both rank for (shared), or where the client ranks below them (weak) — merged across the competitors, with volume, difficulty, CPC, intent, the client's position and each competitor's. Works for any domains, tracked or not, from DataForSEO's index; get_keyword_gap is the free reading from what the client's trackers already captured. Answers 'what do our competitors rank for that we don't' and 'where are we losing to them'. One read per competitor. A paid lookup on the client's account unless anyone read the same thing this week (spend says which); quote it with estimate_cost.

Parameters

Idempotency-Keystringheader
Any unique string, up to 200 characters. A retry with the same key and body is answered from the first answer (Idempotent-Replayed: true) for a day, so it never buys or writes twice; the same key with another body is refused.

Request body

True to buy nothing and get the quote instead: what the call would cost at most and what it would buy.
