How much does the Outranking API actually cost?
Outranking publishes an API, but per-tier gating wasn't extracted automatically.
- Most likely scenario: API access is either included in all paid plans, or it's gated to higher tiers and we need to verify on the live docs page.
- Until verified, treat the question "which plan unlocks the API" as open. Don't budget on the assumption it's free with the cheapest paid plan.

Quickstart template
# Starter template — endpoint paths and SDK package names come from # the Outranking API docs: https://www.outranking.io/ curl -X GET "https://www.outranking.io/<your-endpoint>" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \ -H "Accept: application/json" | jq .
Template only. Endpoint paths, exact base URL, and auth header format come from outranking.io.
Limits and gotchas
- No OpenAPI spec — you write typed clients by hand or use a third-party generator on the docs HTML.
- Official SDKs: node. Use them to skip auth boilerplate and get type safety.
- Rate limits: always read the docs page before scaling — the published limit is usually lower than the practical one and overages can be expensive.
Agent-readiness verdict
Skip for agent workflows. Outranking has documented API access and Node SDK support, but lacks MCP, OpenAPI specs, and structured outputs that modern AI agents need. Without these integrations, you'll spend time on custom wrappers instead of letting Claude or Cursor work autonomously.
