Data
Introduction
The Data API provides programmatic, real-time access to the same SEO datasets that power the SE Ranking platform: backlink index, domain intelligence, keyword research, SERP results and Website Audit findings. The service is exposed via a RESTful interface that returns JSON (default) or XML over HTTPS, enabling you to embed SE Ranking data directly in dashboard, BI pipelines or automation workflows.
