Hi, Does Google provide any PageRank API? I believe we will have to query outside of the API which violated the Google ToS. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks & Cheers
No they do not it not violating the TOS to query outside the API, the firefox google pagerank tool does not use the API
Yes, scripts are everyone and it does not violate the terms of service to query outside of the API, people have been doing it for a year or two now, and if google decided to take action, they would just make an API for it, or remove the current method to check PageRank.
I don't think there is an official API for that. I think most of the servers are quoting the google datacenters withour any API or something
you can check page rank using like this way then you can write a API for this http://toolbarqueries.google.com/se...rums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=164713 _____________________________________________________________________ Indian Software Company | Logo Design | Letter Head Design
Do you know that fetching google page rank is violation of google guideline? only google toolbar should fetch the pagerank according to google and those millions of sites that are using scripts to fetch pr are violating google guideline. This is from google guideline page "Don't use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our Terms of Service. Google does not recommend the use of products such as WebPosition Goldâ„¢ that send automatic or programmatic queries to Google". Funny part of all this is google is surviving using content of others and its making billions using those content, it doesn't have its own contents, every day it query's your site, overloading it and they talk about TOS? They give you meaning less rank, people run behind the rank and one day they penalize you and says you violated google TOS!
Absolutely correct. I have build one and seen many, there is no API for Google PR or Google cached date checker. It's just you need to fetch data from various data centers of Google.
I wonder if there is any need for page rank API since page rank could become deprecated (it hasn't been updated for 8 months now)
If you need a Google Pagerank API I made one to use with some of the software I have made. Of course it's not an official API from Google. But it does query Google to get the information. It's at: http://josh-fowler.com/?page_id=163
Just use the Add-ons for mozilla from seobook.com. It is pretty simple and you can check also other things.
