SE Ranking Publishes Its SEO and AI Search APIs on ApyHub
01Introduction
SE Ranking, the SEO platform used by SEO teams in over 150 countries, has published six of its data APIs on ApyHub. Developers can now call SE Ranking's AI search visibility, keyword research, backlink, domain analysis, website audit, and SERP data with one ApyHub key and one subscription. Business users can ask for the same data in Claude or ChatGPT through ApyHub MCP, without writing code.
All six APIs are listed on SE Ranking's provider page on ApyHub.
02Why this matters now
Search visibility now splits between the results page and the AI answer. Pew Research Center tracked the browsing of 900 US adults in March 2025 and found that people clicked a traditional search result on 8% of visits when Google showed an AI summary, against 15% when it did not (Pew Research Center, July 22, 2025). Teams need to know how they rank and whether AI assistants mention them. SE Ranking's APIs cover both.
03The six SE Ranking APIs on ApyHub
Analyze AI Search Performance API
The Analyze AI Search Performance API measures how a brand or domain appears in AI answers across Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. It returns brand presence, link presence (citations), average position, and monthly trends. A leaderboard endpoint ranks your brand against up to 10 competitors with a share-of-voice score, and the prompts endpoints list the prompts where your brand or domain appears.
Research Keywords API
The Research Keywords API returns keyword metrics, related keywords, question keywords, and long-tail variations. Use it to plan content, size demand in a market, or feed keyword data into your own product.
Analyze Backlinks API
The Analyze Backlinks API returns the backlink profile for any domain or URL: summary metrics, referring domains, anchor texts, and authority scores. It works for monitoring your own links and for studying a competitor's.
Advanced Domain Analysis API
The Advanced Domain Analysis API shows a domain's organic and paid search footprint by country, its top pages, the keywords it ranks for, monthly history, and its closest competitors. A comparison endpoint shows the keyword overlap and gaps between two domains.
Audit Website SEO API
The Audit Website SEO API runs technical SEO audits programmatically and returns issues, crawled pages, and link data. Trigger an audit after every deploy and compare it with previous runs.
Get SERP Results API
The Get SERP Results API returns the top 100 search results for any keyword and location. Submit queries as tasks, then fetch standard results, advanced results, or the raw HTML of the page. For why teams are moving from scrapers to SERP APIs, see Why Manual Scraping SERP Data Is Dead.
SE Ranking reports a database of 5.5 billion keywords and 2.2 billion domain profiles across 188 countries, and tracks over 25.5 million AI prompts (SE Ranking Data API).

04Use SE Ranking's data from Claude and ChatGPT
Every endpoint in the ApyHub catalog, SE Ranking's included, is accessible through ApyHub MCP. AI agents and assistants can discover, evaluate, and call these APIs directly, without a hand-written wrapper or tool definition. ApyHub runs dedicated EU and US regions, so you can keep calls in the region you need.
In ChatGPT, ApyHub is listed as ApyHub EU; mention @ApyHub EU in a chat. In Claude, add ApyHub as a custom connector. Then ask things like:
- "Compare how often ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews mention our brand versus competitor.com in the US."
- "List the keywords competitor.com ranks for in Germany that we don't."
- "Summarize our backlink profile and flag the strongest referring domains."
For developers, a call looks like any other ApyHub request. This one checks how the AI search API recognizes a domain's brand:
curl "https://api.eu.apyhub.com/se-ranking/ai-search/v1/ai-search/discover-brand?target=seranking.com&source=us&scope=base_domain" \
-H "apy-token: $APY_TOKEN"{ "brands": ["SE Ranking"] }05Conclusion
SE Ranking's six APIs bring its SEO and AI search data into the ApyHub catalog. Developers get one key and per-call billing. Marketers and founders get the same numbers by asking Claude or ChatGPT. Start with the AI search API if you want to know how assistants talk about your brand, or with domain analysis for a classic competitor snapshot.
