SERP Rank Checker API

Hosted on ApyHub

What it does

The Rank Tracker API shows where pages rank on Google for any keyword. Send a keyword, and optionally a location (country code), language, and size (number of results). You get back a JSON data array with each result's rank, url, title, domain, breadcrumb, and description. Each result is labeled by type, so organic and sponsored listings stay separate.

To track keyword rankings over time, call the rank tracker API on a schedule, daily or weekly, and store the positions. Find your domain in the results to get your position, and see which competitors rank above you. Change location and language to check the same keyword in other markets.

Teams use it as a keyword ranking API and SEO rank API behind rank tracking dashboards, client reports, and alerts when a page drops. It returns the top results for a query; for larger result sets and SERP features, use the SE Ranking SERP API.

To understand why rankings move, pair it with the Backlinks API and the Keyword Research API, and read the pages that outrank you with the Extract Text from Webpage API. AI agents can also call it through ApyHub MCP.
