Does Sorank have a public API?

What is the Sorank API?

Sorank does not publish a standalone public REST API for its paid platform. Programmatic integration runs through other paths: CMS connectors that auto-publish content (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix and others), webhooks for custom integrations, and data connections to Google Search Console and GA4.

For an agent or developer, that means you cannot script the autopilot itself (trigger article generation, pull tracking data, manage backlinks) through a documented REST API the way you can with an API-first product. The intended integration surface is the CMS sync for output and the free MCP server for Search Console data.

If a documented REST API is a hard requirement for your build, Sorank is not the right fit on that axis. Its developer story is deliberately MCP-and-connector-first rather than API-first.

Pricing, limits, and integration

Sorank's free MCP server is exactly that, free, and not gated behind the paid plan. You authenticate with a Google account over OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration for read-only Search Console access, so there are no API keys to issue or rotate and no per-call fee from Sorank. Google's own Search Console API quotas apply to the underlying data.

The paid platform is billed per website ($99 per site per month), not per API call, and its integration runs through CMS connectors and webhooks rather than a metered API. There is no published rate limit because there is no public REST API to rate-limit; the MCP tools are bounded by Search Console's limits and by the read-only scope of the granted Google access.

For an agent build, the practical pattern is: use the free MCP server to read Search Console performance, opportunities and history and to score pages with geo_score, and use webhooks plus the CMS connectors when you need content the paid autopilot generates to flow into your own systems. There is no way to drive article generation or backlink acquisition programmatically through a documented API today.

Which AI clients can read Sorank data?

Not every AI assistant supports MCP natively. Here's the per-client picture for Sorank specifically.

Client	Support	Notes
Claude (Desktop/Web)	Native MCP	Add the MCP server URL and sign in with Google via OAuth; read-only Search Console access, no API key.
Claude Code	Native MCP	Connects to the same HTTP MCP server over OAuth 2.1.
Cursor	Native MCP	Documented setup; add the server URL and authenticate with Google.
Windsurf	Native MCP	Listed as a supported MCP client.
n8n	API-only (custom code)	No native node and no public REST API; integrate via webhooks and CMS connectors instead.

What you can build with the Sorank API

Three personas, three different shapes of build. Pick the row that matches how you actually ship.

SOLO DEV / FOUNDER

Glue Sorank 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

Effort: A weekend, one Node or Python script

AGENCY / CONSULTANT

Sell Sorank reporting at scale

White-label Sorank data into client-branded dashboards
Run scheduled multi-account reports without logging into the Sorank UI
Cross-reference with the rest of the client's stack (CRM, analytics, ad spend)

Effort: 1-2 weeks, hits multi-tenant auth quickly

IN-HOUSE ENGINEER

Production pipelines for Sorank

Real-time sync into your warehouse via webhooks
Custom alerts the dashboard's built-in alerting can't express
Backfill + idempotency handling for Sorank data older than the dashboard exposes

Effort: Multi-week project, expect rate-limit tuning

Limits and gotchas

No OpenAPI spec — you write typed clients by hand or use a third-party generator on the docs HTML.
Webhooks available — react to Sorank events in real time instead of polling.
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

There is no public REST API for the paid platform, which is the main limitation for programmatic use. Integration runs through CMS connectors, webhooks and GSC/GA4 connections. For most agent use the free MCP server is the better path anyway, but the missing REST API holds the API score to a 4 out of 10.

Sorank API FAQ

Does Sorank support webhooks?+

Yes — webhooks are available on standard plans.

Should I use the API or the MCP server for Claude / Cursor / Codex?+

Prefer the MCP server for agent workflows — it's less code and pre-handles auth flows. Use the REST API for scheduled jobs, dashboards, and anything outside an LLM-driven flow.

Does Sorank have a public API?+

Not documented publicly as of the last check. Some tools expose private/partner APIs — contact sales if you need programmatic access.
