Project

The Project API exposes every operational facet of an SE Ranking project—creation, configuration, keyword management, competitor tracking, traffic analytics, audits, and backlink monitoring. All endpoints are RESTful, served over HTTPS, and return JSON by default (XML on request), so you can automate project workflows, build custom dashboards, or integrate SE Ranking data into existing reporting pipelines with minimal overhead.

Seamless integration

To start using the Project API, you’ll need an API key generated from your SE Ranking user account (Settings -> API). This key must be included in your requests either as a token query parameter or in the Authorization HTTP header (e.g., Authorization: Token YOUR_API_KEY).
