Authoritas SERPs API - Python client

A quick client to use Auhtoritas SERPs API in Python.
Have a look here: https://www.authoritas.com/keyword-ranking-api/.

Setup

These scripts have been tested with Python 3.7.0
I recommend using pyenv or any other virtual environment manager.

To install dependencies, simply run:

pip install -r requirements.txt  

Usage

Two steps:

1. send queries to the API
2. ask for results

Sending queries

Using the send_queries.py script, you'll be able to send your list of queries to Authoritas SERPs API quite simply.
Put your queries into a simple text file (one query per line) and use this command:

python send_queries.py --input your_queries.txt  

Each query will be sent to the API and the corresponding job id will be saved into a CSV file.

The script offers multiple options:

• -i or --input: the mandatory input file (one query per line)
• -o or --output: a basename to create your output file (default: queries)
• --sep: output CSV separator (default is ";")
• -n or --nb_res: number of results to fetch (default: 10)
• -s or --search_engine the search engine to use (choose between google, bing, yahoo, yandex and baidu, default is google)
• -r or --region: the search engine region (choose between global, fr, gb, us or es, default is global)
• -l or --language: the search engine language (choose between en, fr or es, default is en)
• -u or --user_agent: the type of device to use (choose between pc, mac, tablet, ipad, iphone and mobile, default is pc)
• --no_cache: to force the API not to use cached results (default: False)
• -d or --delay: the delay in seconds between requests (default: 2)

Getting results

Use the get_results.py script to fetch results from jobs:

python get_results.py --input job_ids.csv  

The script will fetch results for each jid and save SEO results to a CSV file, containing for each result in a SERP:

• the query,
• the job id,
• the job status,
• the result position,
• the page,
• the url,
• the result title.

Other data is available through the API, check the docs for more details.

Here is a list of available script options:

• -i or --input: a CSV file containing a query and a jid columns (using send_queries.py output is easiest)
• --input_sep: specify an input CSV separator (default is ";")
• -o or --output: a basename to create your output file (default is results)
• --sep: output CSV separator (default is ";")
• -d or --delay the delay in seconds between requests (default: 2)
