I would like to be able to get the Alexa rank from specific sites and sort them by the most popular. What coding language do I need to learn to be able to do this?
#programming #alexa or amazon #api

    • You should first know how to,

      1) Make API request (requesting to fetch the alexa ranking for a page)
      2) Parse the results returned by the server (the results will be in xml or REST format. You should know how to parse it)

      You can learn how to work with api's from Learn | Codecademy

      Once you are comfortable with at least one or two api then try applying the same knowledge to Alexa API

    • I know HTML and a little bit of PHP. When I was in school, I even created a web browser in VB but I still haven't found somebody teaching what I am trying to do. Maybe I am saying it wrong.
