How does the eRanker API work?
We own hundreds of servers (crawlers) around the world. Our API manages those servers in order to create accurate reports for almost any neighborhood, city, region or country in the world.
The API collects data from crawlers in real time, creating a powerful and reliable Search Engine Keyword Reports.
Using the eRanker API you will have access to our system and hence you will be able to create reports and monitor directly from your application.
Benefits of accessing data via API
The API allows statistics to be more easily embedded or interwoven throughout your sites or other applications. The information may be manipulated so as to create unlimited types of reports. Thus, you can ensure a smooth and integrated user experience, and relevant and up-to-date information, for your company or customer.
Our API also provides access to monitors and alerts, which will notify your company (or your customers) if a keyword is no longer effective in a particular place or country.
