Query DataForSEO for SEO + market-validation data — Google SERP rank checks, keyword search volume, keyword discovery (semantic ideas, related-search expansion, search-intent classification), domain/competitor analytics, backlinks, and App Store / Play data (which apps rank + review mining). Use when checking where a site ranks, finding or discovering what people search for, validating demand and competition for an app/business idea, analysing a domain or its competitors, auditing backlinks…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# DataForSEO

## Goal

Query DataForSEO's v3 endpoints through a CLI that is easy for agents to script
and humans to scan — SERP, keyword research + discovery, domain/competitor
analytics, backlinks, App Store / Play data, and one-shot idea validation.

## Use this when

- Validating an app/business idea in one scored pass (`validate <idea>`)
- Checking where a site ranks, or listing the top organic results (`serp`)
- Finding search volume, CPC, and competition for keywords (`volume`)
- Discovering keywords — long-tail (`suggestions`), semantic (`ideas`), related-search (`related`), intent (`intent`)
- Seeing what keywords a domain already ranks for (`ranked`)
- Finding a domain's organic competitors (`competitors`)
- Getting a domain's organic/paid rank overview (`domain`)
- Auditing a domain's backlinks and referring domains (`backlinks`, `refdomains`)
- Which apps rank in a store (`appsearch`); mining app reviews (`appreviews`)

## Do not use this for

- Idle exploration — **every command spends DataForSEO credits.** Run the
  narrowest command that answers the question, and use `--limit` to cap rows.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/dataforseo@sha256:c8ee85ed963948f1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.1748a98, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
