An SEO ranking API is the data layer beneath every rank tracker, audit tool, and reporting dashboard. Rather than maintaining scrapers and proxy pools, you call one endpoint and receive structured search results: exact positions, the domains around you, and the SERP features shaping click-through.

Searlo is built for the developers behind SEO products. The response is clean JSON (or token-efficient TOON for AI workflows), priced at $0.30 per 1,000 queries so even high-volume rank monitoring stays affordable.

Get started in one request

The SEO ranking API returns the ranked SERP; your tool reads positions and features from it.

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

r = requests.get(
    "https://api.searlo.tech/api/v1/search/web",
    params={"q": "email marketing tools", "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("email marketing tools") + "&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));

Why SEO platforms use a ranking API

Maintaining your own Google scraping infrastructure means proxies, CAPTCHAs, parser breakage, and constant upkeep. An SEO ranking API removes all of that: you get parsed, structured rankings from a maintained endpoint with predictable latency.

That lets your team focus on the product — the dashboards, the insights, the alerts — instead of the plumbing. And because pricing is per query, your data cost scales cleanly with usage.

  • No scraper or proxy maintenance
  • Structured positions and SERP features
  • Competitor data in every response
  • JSON or token-efficient TOON output

What teams build on it

  • Rank tracking inside SEO SaaS products
  • Automated SEO audits and reports
  • Share-of-voice and visibility scoring
  • Agency white-label ranking dashboards
  • Content gap and competitor analysis
