The keyword rank API is the simplest possible ranking primitive: in goes a keyword and a market, out comes the ordered list of results with positions. Locate your domain and you have its keyword rank — no scrapers, no proxies, no parsing.

It is designed to be embedded anywhere you need a quick, reliable rank lookup: a tool, a script, a scheduled job. Pricing is flat at $0.30 per 1,000 queries, so it stays cheap whether you check one keyword or millions.

Features

  • Direct position read

    Each result carries its rank, so a keyword's position is a one-line lookup.

  • Any keyword

    Works for any term, including long-tail and competitor-brand keywords.

  • Market targeting

    Country and language parameters return locale-accurate positions.

  • Embeds anywhere

    A single GET request fits scripts, cron jobs, and product features alike.

Get started in one request

The keyword rank API is one request; find the domain in the results to read its rank.

curl "https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1/search/web?q=noise%20cancelling%20headphones&num=10" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
import requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1/search/web",
    params={"q": "noise cancelling headphones", "num": 10},
    headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
results = r.json()["organic"]
# position of your domain in the SERP
rank = next(
    (o["position"] for o in results
     if "yourdomain.com" in o["domain"]),
    None,
)
print("rank:", rank)
const res = await fetch(
  "https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1/search/web?q=" +
    encodeURIComponent("noise cancelling headphones") + "&num=10",
  { headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } },
);
const { organic } = await res.json();
const rank = organic.find(o =>
  o.domain.includes("yourdomain.com"))?.position ?? null;
console.log("rank:", rank);

A primitive you build on

Because the keyword rank API is so simple, it composes cleanly into larger systems. Wrap it in a function for a one-off lookup, loop it over a keyword list for bulk checks, or schedule it to build ranking history. The endpoint never changes — only how you orchestrate it.

Every call also returns the surrounding results, so a single keyword lookup doubles as a snapshot of the competitive field.

  • Competitor positions for free
  • Locale-accurate ranking
