What you can do with the SERPWatcher rank tracking API

Create rank tracking projects

Set up SERPWatcher tracking for a domain, target location, device, and keyword list. Perfect when you want to automatically create tracking projects for new clients, websites, folders, or campaigns:

create-tracking.sh 
curl https://api.mangools.com/v3/serpwatcher/trackings \
  --request POST \
  --header "X-Access-Token: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
  "domain": "example.com",
  "location_id": 2840,
  "platform_id": 1,
  "keywords": [
    "rank tracking api",
    "seo reporting api",
    "keyword rank tracker"
  ]
}'

Pull ranking data into your dashboard

Retrieve tracking details, tracked keywords, and ranking stats from SERPWatcher. Use the data to show keyword positions, ranking changes, campaign progress, and visibility trends in your own interface.

Useful endpoints include:

  • GET /serpwatcher/trackings
  • GET /serpwatcher/trackings/{tracking_id}/detail
  • POST /serpwatcher/trackings/{tracking_id}/stats
  • GET /serpwatcher/trackings/{tracking_id}/tracked-keywords

Track rankings by location and device

Ranking data is only useful when it reflects the search results your audience actually sees. Mangools SERPWatcher supports location-based rank tracking, including country, state, city, and other local targeting options. SERPWatcher also supports desktop and mobile tracking.

Use the Locations API to find the right location ID:

locations.sh 
curl "https://api.mangools.com/v3/mangools/locations?query=New%20York" \
  --header "X-Access-Token: YOUR_API_KEY"

Then use the returned location_id when creating or updating a tracking.

Add new keywords automatically

Need to expand a campaign when new keywords appear in Search Console, your CRM, or your content pipeline? Add keywords to an existing tracking without logging into the app:

  • POST /serpwatcher/trackings/{tracking_id}/tracked-keywords
  • DELETE /serpwatcher/trackings/{tracking_id}/tracked-keywords

Organize rankings with tags

Group tracked keywords by topic, page type, funnel stage, client, content cluster, or campaign. Use tags to make your reporting cleaner and your exports easier to analyze:

  • GET /serpwatcher/tags
  • GET /serpwatcher/trackings/{tracking_id}/tags
  • POST /serpwatcher/trackings/{tracking_id}/tags
  • POST /serpwatcher/trackings/{tracking_id}/tags/assign
  • POST /serpwatcher/trackings/{tracking_id}/tags/unassign

Add annotations to ranking charts

SEO results rarely move for no reason. Add annotations when you publish content, update pages, launch link building, migrate a website, change templates, or notice a Google update. This helps your team connect ranking changes with actual SEO work.

  • POST /serpwatcher/trackings/{tracking_id}/annotations
  • PUT /serpwatcher/trackings/{tracking_id}/annotations/{annotation_id}
  • DELETE /serpwatcher/trackings/{tracking_id}/annotations/{annotation_id}

Add keyword metrics from KWFinder

Get search volume, keyword difficulty, CPC, PPC, and search volume history for your tracked keywords.

  • POST /kwfinder/keyword-imports
  • GET /kwfinder/related-keywords
  • GET /kwfinder/suggested-keywords
  • POST /kwfinder/gap-analysis

Get SERP details and see all the important changes

Ranking position alone does not tell the full story. A keyword can be ranking #3 and still lose visibility to ads, featured snippets, local packs, shopping results, videos, or People Also Ask boxes.

Use SERPChecker endpoints to pull detailed SERP data, including organic results, SERP features, URL metrics, CTR data, and SERP snapshots.

  • GET /serpchecker/serps
  • GET /serpchecker/serps/{serp_id}/snapshot
  • GET /serpchecker/url-metrics

Find competitor keywords and gaps

Use KWFinder competitor endpoints to discover the keywords a domain or URL already ranks for. This is useful for finding new keywords to track, building competitor rank-tracking dashboards, or identifying ranking gaps.

  • GET /kwfinder/competitor-keywords
  • POST /kwfinder/competitor-keywords
  • GET /kwfinder/competitor-domain
  • POST /kwfinder/gap-analysis
