    Anyone have any good ideas how to capture the PR of a website without being nabbed for screen scaping or the such?

    It's not possible to get PageRank values with the Google API.

    No I didn't think so. Then how is your free keyword tracker tool accomplishing this? Are you using your own internal algorithm or using a checknum?

    It's real data, but does not use the API. The only way to get PageRank is by utilizing the checksum that the Google toolbar generates.

    Is there a way to generate that checksum without the Google Toolbar?

    I've always found the checksum in my web browser cache files -- but I would like to be able to generate the checksums programmatically.

    Yes, it is... but people who are able to calculate PageRank checksums are not keen on sharing it I've found.

    why is that? just so their site can offer something exlcusive, or is there more to it than that?

    Probably because not anyone can figure out how they checksum works (at least that's my guess).
