SEOptimer's
Rank Tracking API

Programmatically monitor where your websites — and your clients’ — rank in Google across countries and devices, and build the results into your own tools, dashboards and custom integrations.

Submit Keywords & Retrieve Rankings via JSON

Utilize JSON, the most common and simple method for API calling, to submit a URL and the keywords you want to track.

Retrieve ranking positions straight into your database, or write custom logic and alerts based on where each keyword ranks.

Track Rankings Across Countries & Devices

Check keyword positions in any supported country, on desktop or mobile.

Get results via Custom Callback or Queue-And-Wait: we call your endpoint the moment they’re ready, or you poll the request ID.

Real-Time Results, Built for Volume

Every request runs a live SERP check, so you get real search results exactly as they appear right now — not stale, cached positions.

See what a real searcher sees in each supported country, on desktop or mobile, for accurate, location-specific rankings.

Built for volume: track up to 100 keywords per request and scale your plan as your needs grow, comfortably handling peak reporting periods.
