API System Overview

The Developer API feature allows you to pull and use Advanced Web Ranking data with any tool.

You will be able to gather keyword rankings and manage your Advanced Web Ranking projects programmatically. All the changes made via the API will be reflected in your Advanced Web Ranking account.

The Advanced Web Ranking Developer API system can be accessed via standard HTTPS requests in UTF-8 format to the following endpoints:

The Developer API feature is available for all types of Yearly plans and, for monthly subscriptions, starting with Agency and higher.

All the accounts have a default limit of 2,000 API calls per hour for most operations, unless specified otherwise. If you need this limit increased, feel free to contact us.

The Developer API V.2. shares the same accessibility characteristics and limitations as API V.1.

Endpoint 1

This API endpoint is mainly used to handle AWR project management actions and export various subsets of data (ranking, Visibility, Top Sites, Search Console, CTR).

The following API Operations are available:

The create project API call

This operation allows you to create a project / website and specify the search engines, keywords and websites / competitors that it will contain. It uses the HTTP POST method.

Limit: 60 calls per hour (60 seconds delay between requests).

{
  "response_code":26,
  "message":"failed - can't create project, not enough keyword units (currently used: 1989, new project consumption: 924, plan max: 2000)"
}

URL parameters

  1. action = create
  2. project = project name
    • Usually your website's domain name. Example: www.mywebsite.com
    • Use URL encoding and replace any space with a + sign
  3. country = country ISO code
    • Dictates number formatting preferences; also used for gathering AdWords country-specific data
    • Use Alpha-2 codes from here
  4. token = token
    • The API token
  5. depth = 5|10 (optional)
    • The number of pages to be retrieved from search engines - leave it blank to use the default (5)
  6. frequency = daily|weekly|biweekly|monthly|ondemand (optional)
    • The update frequency - leave it blank to use the default (weekly)
  7. teamaccess = all (optional)
    • Specify whether team members shoud be given access to the project - leave it blank to use the default (don't give access to team members)

POST parameters

inputs=
{
  "keywords":[Keyword1, Keyword2,…, KeywordN],
  "searchengines":[SearchEngine1, SearchEngine1,…, SearchEngineN],
  "websites":[Website1, Website2,…, WebsiteN]
}

Where Keyword 1 is the first keyword we would like to add and has the following format:

{
  "name":"my keyword",
  "index":3,
  "color_r":0,
  "color_g":0,
  "color_b":255,
  "kw_groups":["my kw group 1","my kw group 2"]
}
  • name = the keyword name
  • index = number – The order in which the keyword will be displayed in reports (when sorting by index)
  • color_r = 0..255 – The red component of the keyword color
  • color_g = 0..255 – The green component of the keyword color
  • color_b = 0..255 – The blue component of the keyword color
  • kw_groups = the names of the keyword groups – The keyword groups in which you want to place this keyword
{"name":"my keyword"}

Search engine types

There are two types of search engines that you can add in Advanced Web Ranking:

  • Predefined search engines
  • Location search engines

Adding a predefined search engine

{"awr_id":2138589785}
  • awr_id = number – The search engine's ID. You can find the supported search engine IDs list here (second column).

Adding a location search engine

This type of search engine is useful for tracking keyword rankings in a specific location, such as San Francisco, CA. It will return the same results as someone searching from that location.

{
  "name":"google",
  "country":"US",
  "location":"San Francisco, CA",
  "language":"en",
  "se_type":"desktop news"
}
  • name = string – The search engine name. Only "Google" is currently supported
  • country = string – The country. Click here to get a list of available countries (first column)
  • location = string – The location. Example: San Francisco, CA
  • language = string – The language. Click here to get a list of available languages (first column)
  • se_type = string – The search engine type. Click here to get a list of available types (first column)

Website1 is the first website we would like to add and should look like this:

{
  "name":"mydomain.com",
  "aliases":"*.mydomain.com",
  "index":1,
  "color_r":0,
  "color_g":0,
  "color_b":255,
  "pages":[]
}
  • name = string – The website domain
  • aliases = string – the default is *.mydomain.com, which matches all pages across all subdomains. You can provide multiple values (comma separated) to only match an URL mydomain.com/url, multiple URLs under a directory mydomain.com/dir/*, a subdomain subdomain.mydomain.com or even other domains *.youtube.com
  • index = number – The order in which the keyword will be displayed in the reports (when sorting by index)
  • color_r = 0..255 – The red component of the website color
  • color_g = 0..255 – The green component of the website color
  • color_b = 0..255 – The blue component of the website color
  • pages = Page1, Page2,..., PageN – This website's pages you would like to track
