Rank Tracking API for keyword positions and ranking research

Two starting points for ranking research

01

Check a keyword’s search results

Start with a keyword and read the returned URLs and ranking positions. Use supported market settings to keep location and language consistent between checks.

02

Discover a domain’s ranking keywords

Start with a domain to investigate its organic keyword footprint. Domain-ranking datasets answer a different question from a single keyword SERP lookup.

03

Add time context to your reports

Ahrefs Ranking Keywords History provides a history-specific operation. For snapshot endpoints, schedule calls and store observations in your own application to measure change.

Rank Tracking API questions

Does the API automatically monitor rankings and send alerts?

The listed operations retrieve ranking data. Your workflow schedules recurring checks, stores snapshots and sends alerts. A one-time SERP request does not create a monitoring project.

Should I start with a keyword or a domain?

Use keyword results to check which URLs rank for a query. Use a domain-ranking endpoint to discover the keywords associated with a site. Choose based on the question your report needs to answer.

Can I compare rankings across sources and dates?

First align the market, device, query depth and data date where those settings are available. Live SERP results and indexed ranking datasets can represent different observations.
