Google rank tracker API
Check where you rank without another SEO subscription. These connectors run live Google searches for your keywords by country, city and device and return your position, the ranking URL, competitor positions, SERP features and whether an AI Overview cites you — plus raw search results and local rank across a map grid.
From $0.01 per result · no API key · failed calls refunded
What you get
- Organic position and ranking URL per keyword
- Position changes since the last check
- Competitor positions and top results
- AI Overview shown and whether you're cited
- Organic SERP results for any query
- Google Maps rank across a geo-grid
Just ask your AI
“Where does usesourcelane.com rank in the US for these 20 keywords, and who beats us?”
“Run a 5×5 grid around my dental practice for 'dentist near me' and show my average Maps rank.”
Connectors behind it

print(body["data"])Rank tracker API — FAQ
Can I track mobile and desktop separately?+
Yes. Set the device on each call, along with the country and, optionally, a city.
Does it show if Google's AI Overview mentions my site?+
Yes. Each keyword row says whether an AI Overview appeared, whether your site is cited in it, and which sources it used.
Do I need a Web & SEO API key or developer account?+
No. Sourcelane runs the connectors for you. You top up a balance with a card, create an agent key, and your agent calls the connector — there is no Web & SEO app review, OAuth setup or rate-limit juggling on your side.
Which AI tools can use it?+
Anything that speaks MCP (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf) can connect to the Sourcelane MCP server with one config block. ChatGPT can use it through a Custom GPT Action, and any agent framework can call the REST endpoint directly.
Can I stop an agent from overspending?+
Yes. Every agent key has its own per-call cap, daily and monthly limits, an optional lifetime budget, an allowlist of connectors, and a kill switch.
