I have a script that calls the Google API server to return the top 8 results for any given query. However, the one piece of data that's missing is the pagerank.

I'd like to find out if its possible to add a querystring paramater to get the PR.

Here is my current query...

https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&rsz=8&q=search+engine+optimization

And based one a bit of research, I've found that some are using the "features=Rank" parameter, however, I see no difference in the results.

  • +1 Thanks for the link. I suppose I'm trying to do for myself, what josh is doing for others. I need control over the API and to host the code on my server to regulate access. – RegEdit Sep 09 '11 at 13:44

Google does not generally expose PageRank publicly. The closest they've gotten in the past is displaying a number which resembles PageRank in the Google Toolbar, and it's pretty well known that the values shown in there are per-site, not per-page, and are not updated frequently.

  • Thanks for the info on Google toolbar. You taught me something. I was under impression the PR reading was for the specific page being viewed, not the site as a whole. I've never heard anyone say Google ranks "sites". I think the conventional wisdom is that they rank *pages*, so this is definitely interesting. – RegEdit Sep 09 '11 at 13:47
  • Google does (appear to) rank pages internally. The Google Toolbar is just presenting a simplified version of the actual data. –  Sep 09 '11 at 15:10
