## About

## What it does

The **Web Search & Analysis API** helps you search the web, extract webpage content, retrieve website ranking information, and identify article metadata.

Use **Search Web** to find relevant webpages by providing a search query. Use **Extract Content from a Web Page** to retrieve the title, images, HTML, and main text from a specific webpage by passing its URL.

For article information, use **Extract Publish Date** to retrieve the publication date of an article and **Extract Authors** to identify the author names and profile links. For both endpoints, provide the URL of the specific article or webpage you want to analyze.

Use **Retrieve Page Rank** to get ranking information for a website by providing its domain name. The response includes the position, page rank score, and percentile.

These endpoints are useful for web research, content analysis, SEO insights, and article metadata extraction.
