Most efficiënt way to retrieve search volume for thousands of keyword

[CB0001]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how I can efficiently get search volumes for large quantities of keywords. Unfortunately Keyword Planner has reduced their limit of keywords:
"You entered too many keywords. Please limit the number of keywords to 1,000. You can also upload a file with up to 800 keywords."

Weirdly, the file upload's limit is now even lower than the normal limit. A 1000 keywords a time will be a real chore when you want to retrieve search volume for 50.000 keywords. I tried SEMrush, but it does not suffice due to the fact that a lot of keywords in my language (Dutch) are not in the database. I also looked into the Adwords API, but this does not yet seem to have any implementation in Google sheets?

Ideas are welcome!

Thanks for you answers, I'll definitely be checking out Grepwords. I also want to look into the Adwords API in combination with excel, because these does seem to have an implementation, although I can hardly find any clear information on this. I just want to be able to paste a list of keywords and retrieve the search volumes for my country automatically.

Yup - agree that Grepwords is the way to go here. http://grepwords.com/

Keyword Explorer supports only up to 500 keywords uploaded in a single list (and the keyword data is only for the US right now). Going piece by piece through AdWords is probably the only other path to take.

Grepwords. Simple API, though poorly documented. Believe Moz products use it as a source too.
