Intro

SpyFu provides competitor keyword research tools to help you learn your competitors' PPC and SEO tricks and avoid their mistakes. To learn more about the SpyFu API, visit their page (https://www.spyfu.com/api).

You connect to your SpyFu account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the SpyFu connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
