Average Rank API



The average rank method returns ranking data for the selected domain within a specific date range with minimum, maximum and average rank.  Available options include Keyword ID, list of Tags per keyword, and filtering results for a specific tag.

Refer to the Rank Ranger API Overview page for information on how to obtain API access, obtain an API Key, a full list of API methods and error codes.

 

 

Parameters

 
key string The unique API key assigned to your account
campaign_id tld Campaign ID number
domain tld Top level domain requested. This can be the primary domain or one of the competitor domains.
start_date yyyy-mm-dd Requested data start date
end_date yyyy-mm-dd Requested data end date
keyword_id string Optional: you can add the &additional_tags=keyword_id parameter to the end of the request and it will display the Rank Ranger keyword_id in the success response
show_tags string Optional: you can add the &additional_tags=show_tags parameter to the end of the request and it will display a list of tags per keyword
tag_filter string Optional: you can add the &tag_filter=YourTagName parameter to the end of the request to filter the results by a single tag. The Tag Name must be entered exactly the way it displays in the Campaigns Settings > Keywords screen, so if you are using Tag Manager, you need to enter the Tag Group: Tag Option (e.g., if you have a Tag Group named branded product and a Tag Option named blue widgets, you should enter &tag_filter=branded product: blue widgets at the end of the request string.
output string Output format options:
  • &output=xml  (this is the default format)
  • &output=json
    Either of these parameters can be added to the json output parameter:
    • &output=json&json_strict=true 
      (forces the results to come back as array instead of objects) 
    • &output=json&json_arr=true 
      (causes the entire json to be wrapped as array)
