Infrastructure
Proxy routing, browser execution, retries, and usage controls are operational work.
Check where a domain ranks for a keyword on Bing, Brave, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo. Each call returns numbered organic results as JSON, so your code only has to find the tracked hostname and store its position.
The problem
On 2026-09-25 the query "rank tracker api" put developers.ranktracker.com and link-assistant.com in the top two on Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo (Yahoo in reverse order), while Brave, which runs its own index, ranked keyword.com, brightdata.com, and developers.similarweb.com first. A rank checker that reads a single engine misses that split.
Proxy routing, browser execution, retries, and usage controls are operational work.
Raw pages must become stable records before products and data teams can use them.
Use-case landing pages should map directly to buyer workflows and internal data models.
Structured public web data workflows still need clear legal, privacy, and platform boundaries.
What you can collect
Example fields may include query context, organic result fields, result position, URL, snippet, source engine, and request usage context.
Relevant Crawlora APIs
Start from the platform page or endpoint docs, then test the same route in Playground before production integration.
Run a one-off Bing, Brave, or DuckDuckGo SERP and domain-rank check before moving to recurring monitoring.
OpenAdd Bing result snapshots to cross-engine SERP monitoring.
OpenCompare alternative search result signals with Brave Search data.
OpenPair SERP snapshots with search demand, regional interest, and related query context.
OpenUse the docs recipe for storage, workflow, and endpoint planning guidance.
OpenEstimate credit needs for recurring keyword and search monitoring workflows.
OpenSearch intent
Match the page content to the practical jobs buyers search for, then open the relevant Crawlora APIs behind each workflow.
Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo tend to agree with each other; Brave often does not. The 2026-09-25 check above shows the pattern for a single commercial query.
Every organic row carries a position number, url, and hostname, so a rank check is a loop over results until the hostname matches.
Each call to /bing/search, /brave/search, /duckduckgo/search, or /yahoo-search/search costs 3 credits, and failed calls are not billed.
Crawlora's Google web search endpoint was retired in 2026 and now returns 410 Gone, so this page does not offer Google organic positions.
SERP page map
These pages target adjacent SERP search intents. Start from the canonical workflow page, then use support pages for narrower buyer language and provider-comparison research.
| Search intent | Primary page | Support pages | Buyer action |
|---|---|---|---|
| SERP monitoring API / rank tracking workflow | SERP Monitoring | Start from the hub when the workflow includes recurring snapshots, alerts, reports, pricing, docs, and cross-engine coverage. | |
| SERP rank checker API / keyword position checks | SERP Rank Checker API | Use the rank-checker page for keyword-position intent, then test a one-off query in the free checker before automating it. | |
| Best SERP API / vendor comparison | Best SERP API | Use comparison content when the buyer is choosing a provider, then route implementation traffic back to the monitoring hub. |
Example workflow
Crawlora keeps the scraping execution layer behind documented APIs so your product can focus on storage, analysis, alerts, and user workflows.
01
Store each keyword with the domains you care about, the engines to check, a country, and how often to run it.
02
Pass q, count (up to 50), and country; page through results if you track beyond the first page.
03
Save engine, keyword, position, ranked URL, and timestamp, or a no-match row when the hostname is absent.
04
Compare with the previous check and alert on drops, gains, or a different URL taking the spot.
API example
Response captured from the live /bing/search endpoint on 2026-09-25, trimmed to the first two organic rows. Each call costs 3 credits. Check Docs for current parameters.

}What you can build
These are practical workflow patterns for SaaS products, data teams, AI agents, agencies, growth teams, and internal intelligence tools.
Find the first result whose hostname matches a tracked domain and record its position field.
Keep the ranked URL with each check so you can see when a different page of the same site takes the spot.
Track Bing (which also powers DuckDuckGo and Yahoo results) next to Brave's independent index.
Bing rows can carry an age field, such as "Aug 25, 2026", that shows how fresh the ranking page is.
Build or buy
Custom scrapers can work for prototypes. Production web data workflows need infrastructure, monitoring, stable output, and clear failure behavior.
| DIY approach | Crawlora approach |
|---|---|
| Scrape Bing and Brave result pages and keep two HTML parsers working | Call /bing/search and /brave/search and read numbered position fields |
| Work out which blocks on the page are organic results | Organic rows arrive separately from Brave's discussions and videos blocks |
| Rotate proxies when an engine starts blocking scheduled checks | Proxy routing and retries stay behind the endpoint; failed calls are not billed |
| Estimate scraping cost per keyword from server and proxy bills | Count calls: 3 credits per engine per keyword per check |
Infrastructure

OpenFAQ
Answers for developers and product teams evaluating Crawlora for this workflow.
An API that returns ranked search results for a keyword so your software can find where a domain appears. Crawlora's search endpoints return numbered organic rows as JSON; finding and storing your domain's position is done in your code.
Bing, Brave, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo. Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo usually rank alike; Brave uses its own index, so pairing Bing with Brave covers the most ground per credit.
Not with Crawlora today. The Google web search endpoint was retired in 2026 and returns 410 Gone. Google Trends, News, and Maps endpoints are still live for other Google data.
No. Each call is a snapshot of what the engine returned for that query, country, and moment. Store the timestamp and inputs with every position so changes can be compared fairly.
3 credits per search call on any of the four engines, with failed calls not billed. Tracking 100 keywords daily on Bing and Brave uses about 18,000 credits a month.
Yes. /bing/search and /brave/search take a country code and /duckduckgo/search takes a region; check each endpoint's docs for the accepted values before scheduling checks.
Browse Crawlora APIs, test a request in Playground, and move from scraping infrastructure work to production data workflows.
