As it is well known to this forum (at least I hope it is), google stopped issuing SOAP API keys. Although they are still supported, nobody knows for how long. There needs to be a new solution to checking keyword rankings. It might be possible to bend the AJAX API or another one of google's API's to check rankings, but I am unsure. If not, a new API must be developed that will create an abstraction over scraping. I am willing to work on this with someone. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and I am more than willing to work with other people on this.
