SEO Ranking API
SEO Ranking API — the data layer for SEO tools
Power rank tracking, audits, and reporting with one endpoint that returns positions, SERP features, and competitor data. Built for SEO platforms at $0.30 per 1,000 queries.
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.
Global SEO coverage
Track SEO rankings across 195 countries and every major language.
Rich organic data
Titles, snippets, domains, and favicons for full SERP-share analysis.
Platform-grade scale
Concurrency-friendly and pay-per-query, so it scales with your user base.

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
Frequently asked questions
What is an SEO ranking API?
An API that returns structured search rankings — positions, competitors, and SERP features — so SEO tools can read ranking data without building their own scrapers.

What does the response include?
Organic positions plus titles, snippets, domains, and favicons in the same response as the rankings.
How much does it cost?
$0.30 per 1,000 queries with no per-keyword caps, plus 3,000 free credits to evaluate it.
