Get an API Key

RESTful

The Rankwatch API is a mostly RESTful API. Known caveats:

  • All API calls should be made with HTTP GET/POST/DELETE.
  • All methods are accessed via: https://apiv2.rankwatch.com/{REQUEST PATH}/{json/xml/}/{param 1}/{param 2}.

GET Request handles all selection type api query

POST Request handles all insertion/update api query

DELETE Request handles all deletion type api query


Output Formats

We support two output formats. To use any of them, simply use one of them after the REQUEST PATH :

  • json
  • XML - Experimental
Authentication

All authentication is handled using basic HTTP auth .
