APIs for accessing Google SERP rankings, other than SEMRush?

I am interested in a paid 3rd party tool that retrieves the Google search results rankings for a keyword, and gives access to this data via an API.

I subscribe to SEMRUsh and they offer an API with which you can retrieve such results, however their data seems to be inaccurate and dated.

Does anyone know of any other services that offer APIs with which you can retrieve Google SERP rankings?

    In the recent past Google is trying to choke API's. The existing Google Web API will soon be discontinued and after that it will be scrapers + proxies all the way.

      I'm not sure If that's true about Google dropping their API (source?). I guess you mean Adwords API since that's where keyword data originates for Google SERPs. I wouldn't be surprised If Google did drop their API considering their history of dropping products/services.

      That's the problem with APIs, they come & go or support is dropped & they break 3rd party software.

    You can check: http://www.myseotool.com

    It works different but well. Has also required API.

    This is a different approach but ranking data is extremely accurate like 100% since years. It also saves screenshots of the actual ranking SERP.

    They dont rely on google API for search, they have own professional software in JAVA.

    Hope you found this helpful.

    Thanks guy.

    Anyone know how a software like LongTailPro gets their SERP results? Do they just scrape themselves, and hope that Google doesn't lock out the customer?

    I did a ton of looking about 6 months ago and there are options but some are absurd, like $2500/mo for API access.

    It really depends on what you are looking for. Are you looking for the all of the SERPs? Or only the keyword/URL matched?

    I'm looking for all SERPs, not rank tracking.

    SEMRush has that data but it seems old and inaccurate.
