❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is YouTube Topic Finder really free?

Yes — 100% free with unlimited searches. No signup, no credit card, no hidden fees. We use YouTube's public autocomplete API to provide real suggestions.

What does the "REAL" badge mean?

It means the topic came directly from YouTube's autocomplete — real people are searching for that exact term on YouTube right now.

How does the autocomplete feature work?

As you type, we fetch real-time suggestions from YouTube's autocomplete API — the same suggestions you'd see typing in YouTube's search bar. Use arrow keys to navigate and Enter to select.

Can I use this for YouTube SEO and keyword research?

Absolutely. This tool is ideal for YouTube SEO. The autocomplete suggestions reveal actual search behaviour, helping you find the exact keywords people use and discover content gaps.

How do I export the results?

After searching, click the green "📥 Export to CSV" button in the stats bar. The file downloads automatically with all topic titles, types, tags, and trending status.

What do the category filters do?

We auto-categorise topics from the suggestion text. "How-to" = tutorials and guides, "Reviews" = comparisons, "Trending" = topics with "best" or "top", and "Tutorials" = educational content.

Where does the data come from?

All suggestions come from YouTube's official autocomplete API. Tags and categories are auto-generated to help you organise ideas. We don't provide view counts or competition data.

YouTube's autocomplete API returns up to 10 suggestions per query. For more ideas, try keyword variations — e.g. "cooking recipes", "easy cooking", "cooking for beginners".
