Key Patterns & Gotchas

  • API uses asynchronous tasks model — response has tasks[] with status_code: 20000 for success
  • Response structure: tasks[].result[0].items — code drills into this
  • Filtering uses SQL-like filter arrays in request body; code filters for /blog/%
  • getAllBlogPagesSeo paginates in steps of 100, up to 1000 by default
  • Errors include DataForSEO task status codes/messages
