When to use this API

Link building outreach qualification

Before reaching out to a website for a backlink, check its page rank to prioritize high-authority domains. Filter your prospect list to only include sites with a rank above a threshold (e.g., 4+) to maximize the SEO value of acquired links.

Competitor domain benchmarking

Track the page rank of competitor domains over time. Build a dashboard that compares your domain rank against 5-10 competitors to measure the effectiveness of your SEO strategy relative to the market.

Domain portfolio valuation

When evaluating domains for purchase or sale, factor page rank into the valuation model. Domains with higher rank scores command premium prices. Automate batch lookups across a portfolio of hundreds of domains.

Frequently asked questions

What scale does the page rank use?
The page_rank_decimal field uses a 0-10 scale, where 10 is the highest authority (e.g., google.com). Most established websites fall between 3-6. New or low-traffic sites may return 0.
How is the global rank calculated?
The rank field represents the domain's position in a global ranking of all indexed websites. Rank 1 is the most popular site globally. The ranking is based on traffic and link metrics aggregated from multiple data sources.
Can I check subdomains?
Pass the root domain (e.g., "example.com") for the most reliable results. Subdomain lookups (e.g., "blog.example.com") may return data if the subdomain has independent ranking signals, but root domains are recommended.
What does the status_code field indicate?
The status_code is the HTTP response code returned when fetching the domain. A 200 means the site is live. A 301/302 indicates a redirect. A 404 or 500 may indicate the domain is down or misconfigured.
How often is the ranking data updated?
Ranking data is refreshed monthly from upstream data providers. For tracking rank changes over time, query once per week and store the results in your own database.
