A ranking API exposes the order of search results as machine-readable data. Instead of looking at a results page, your code receives an array where each entry carries its rank, domain, title, and link — ready to index, store, and analyze.

Searlo's ranking API covers live Google results with full SERP features, across 195 markets, at a flat $0.30 per 1,000 queries. It is the building block under rank trackers, visibility scores, and competitive-intelligence tools.

The ranking API returns ordered results; each item's position is its rank.

import requests

    params={"q": "cloud storage providers", "num": 10},
    headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
results = r.json()["organic"]
for o in results:
    print(o["position"], o["domain"], o["title"])
const res = await fetch(
  "https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1/search/web?q=" +
    encodeURIComponent("cloud storage providers") + "&num=10",
  { headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } },
);
const { organic } = await res.json();
organic.forEach(o =>
  console.log(o.position, o.domain, o.title));
