v1.5.0 (2026-08)

Multi-engine rank tracking

Track one query list across Google, Bing and Yandex instead of Google alone. The old Google-only view has moved to Sites.

One shared query list per website. Positions, impressions and clicks appear per provider, for whichever platform has observed that query.
Sortable table with position, change, impressions and clicks, plus filter chips for losing ground, gaining, flat and no data, search, and per-query sparklines.
Per-query detail with a history chart and a metric strip.

Worth knowing before you rely on it: Bing and Yandex only report a bounded set of queries per site, so a query you track may never return data from them even when the site ranks. Google accepts arbitrary queries. Where a provider cannot report a query, the table says so rather than showing an empty cell.

Websites, with several properties each

Add a website directly, rather than only picking a webmaster property.
Attach up to three properties per provider to one website. One is primary and provides the headline figures; the rest appear as a breakdown. Figures are shown per property and never added together, because a domain property already contains the URL-prefix properties beneath it.
Site cards redesigned to lead with the site's favicon and domain, with provider status reduced to one dot each.

Query suggestions from every connected platform

Suggestions are drawn from Google, Bing and Yandex property data, show which platforms hold each query, and rank the provider you are viewing first. Useful when a provider reports nothing for your current queries: it shows you the ones that provider actually has.

Secure MCP connect

A consent flow for installing and revoking the MCP connector, with authenticated service calls between the web app and the API.

Cloudflare Turnstile on signup, disposable email domains blocked, and per-IP rate limiting on the email sign-in flow.

Reliability

/v1/competitor-gap pages its candidate set and bounds its query plan.
/v1/domain-overlap bounds its R2 SQL query and no longer swallows query failures.
/v1/anchor-text degrades subdomain timeouts instead of failing the request, and bounds partial responses.
R2 SQL response bodies are bounded across endpoints.
Bing sync records why a run returned no rows, instead of discarding the reason.

v1.4.0 (2026-07)

Wix app

Link a Wix app instance to a RankParse account, provision its API key automatically, and render an SEO dashboard widget inside Wix.

New MCP tools

get_competitor_gap, get_link_audit and get_page_performance are now exposed as MCP tools, with tool titles, a misconfiguration guard, and error mapping for tech-stack.

Timeout and billing fixes

/v1/competitor-gap now races its first stage against a hard wall so it returns before Zapier's 30 second ceiling rather than being cut off.
Credits are refunded when a handler throws.
Free-tool R2 SQL faults are reported as upstream_error rather than data_unavailable, so retries are signalled correctly.

Firefox extension

The Firefox add-on listing is live.

v1.3.0 (2026-07)

AI-powered outreach campaigns (Beta)

New: Outreach, an AI agent that finds link-building prospects from your competitors' backlink profiles and runs the outreach for you, end to end.

6-step campaign wizard: describe your goal and your domain; an agent researches competitors, mines their referring domains for realistic prospects (mega-platforms and integration directories are automatically excluded), finds the right contact at each domain, writes personalized outreach copy, and pushes everything to your sending platform.
Choice of AI model: OpenAI or Anthropic, using your own API key.
Choice of email finder: Apollo or Snov.io for finding and verifying contact emails at each prospect domain.
Choice of sending platform: Smartlead or Lemlist.
Nothing sends automatically: every domain, contact, and email is reviewable and editable before you push a campaign live.

This is a beta, so verify results before sending. Find it under Outreach in the dashboard.

v1.2.0 (2026-06)

Platform detection endpoints

Two new BuiltWith-style endpoints for platform and technology lookups across the Common Crawl graph:

/v1/platform-domains returns every domain running a given platform (Wix, Shopify, WordPress, Squarespace, Framer, and 14 more), ranked by domain authority, with min_da/max_da/tld/sort filters. Billed at 1 credit per domain returned.
/v1/platform-trends returns ranked adoption counts for every detected platform. Costs 1 credit.

Both are also exposed as MCP tools (get_platform_domains, get_platform_trends). Coverage spans the 19 platforms reliably detectable from CDN / image-host signals; for script-tag tools (analytics, CRM, payments) use the real-time /v1/tech-stack.

MCP server reliability

Fixed long-lived MCP connections idle-disconnecting on Cloudflare. The legacy SSE transport (/?apiKey=) lacked keep-alive heartbeats; all clients now connect via the /mcp HTTP streaming transport, which is stateless per request and unaffected by this issue. Update your MCP client config to /mcp if you're still using the old URL.

v1.1.0 (2026-05)

Real-time analysis endpoints

Five new endpoints that fetch live data rather than querying the crawl index:

/v1/page-seo: title, meta description, H1, canonical, OG tags, and robots directives for any URL
/v1/tech-stack: server, framework, and CMS detection from live HTTP headers
/v1/site-health: HTTPS, redirect chain, robots.txt, and basic crawlability signals
/v1/sitemap: sitemap discovery and full URL list parsing
/v1/crawl-history: historical crawl frequency and first-seen date

New link analysis endpoints

/v1/competitor-gap: domains that link to a competitor but not to you, ranked by authority
/v1/link-audit: health score, risk flags, anchor profile, and top/risky backlinks in one call

Authority scoring

/v1/backlinks and /v1/referring-domains now accept ?score=true to include a normalised authority score (0-100) for each linking domain. Costs 1 extra credit per call.

Official SDKs

Python SDK: pip install rankparse
Node.js SDK: npm install rankparse

Both SDKs cover all live endpoints with typed responses and built-in retry logic.

Welcome: sent after account creation with your starting credit balance and a first API call example
Purchase confirmation: sent after every credit top-up with amount charged and new balance
Payment failed: sent if a card charge is declined, with a link to retry
Low credits warning: sent when your balance drops below a threshold
Credits exhausted: sent when an API call is rejected due to zero credits
API key created / revoked: sent when a key is added or deleted

All emails come from hello@rankparse.com. Reply to any email to reach the team.

Performance

Repeat lookups for domain authority, tech stack, and page performance now return in under 50ms
Improved query reliability: transient errors are automatically retried with per-request timeout budgets
