Pricing, limits, and integration
Ranklytics gates API access to its $199 Agency plan, so the API is not available on the $49 or $99 tiers. Authentication is by API key, generated from the in-app API menu, and you can create multiple keys.
The default rate limit is 100 calls per rolling 24 hours, returning a 429 when exceeded, with higher limits available on request via support. There is no per-call fee beyond the plan, but that low default ceiling is worth planning around for any automated workload.
How much does the Ranklytics API actually cost?
Ranklytics 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.

Which AI clients can read Ranklytics data?
Not every AI assistant supports MCP natively. Here's the per-client picture for Ranklytics specifically.
| Client | Support | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | API-only (custom code) | No MCP server; connect through the documented REST API with an API key (Agency plan). |
| n8n | API-only (custom code) | No native node or MCP; integrate via the REST API and the in-app CMS connectors. |

Three personas, three different shapes of build. Pick the row that matches how you actually ship.
Glue Ranklytics into your daily workflow
- Pull a digest of ranking changes into your morning Slack
- Trigger a one-off backfill when something looks off
- Pipe data into your own SQLite for ad-hoc queries
Sell Ranklytics reporting at scale
- White-label Ranklytics data into client-branded dashboards
- Run scheduled multi-account reports without logging into the Ranklytics UI
- Cross-reference with the rest of the client's stack (CRM, analytics, ad spend)
Production pipelines for Ranklytics
- Real-time sync into your warehouse on a cron
- Custom alerts the dashboard's built-in alerting can't express
- Backfill + idempotency handling for Ranklytics data older than the dashboard exposes
Limits and gotchas
- No OpenAPI spec — you write typed clients by hand or use a third-party generator on the docs HTML.
- No official SDK detected. Plan on hitting the API directly with your HTTP client of choice.
- 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
A genuinely documented REST API with API-key auth, an llms.txt for agents, and endpoints across projects, keywords, content and rankings. It is held to a 6 out of 10 by the Agency-plan gate, the low 100-calls-per-day default and the absence of an MCP server or webhooks.
