I believe all such automated, bulk SERP checking tools are usually frowned upon by the SEs and these are also probably in violation of the search engines' TOS.
Having said that, I've seen a number of such tools come and go in the past decade or so. Since I don't use such a tool, I don't know of any currently active ones but if your check with/ask at the WebMasterWorld forums, I'm nearly sure you should be able to dig something out.
- flignats 16y agoThere are many online services you can use to track your keyword positions without violating the T&C of the se's. They have API specifically for this purpose, you just need to find a service that uses the APIs legit.
- storborg 16y agoSorry, but I think you're wrong. Google has no APIs which will give you the rank of a given site for a given keyword. If I'm mistaken, please correct me, I and 100,000 other developers would love to use said APIs.
- flignats 16y agoLet me rephrase... They have apis in place for people that use it to make the service you are looking for... not that Google has developed an API for people to use to retrieve their serps. I forget that I sometimes need to be very specific when posting on the internet...
- rcavezza 16y agoThey stopped services for their web search api and web search ajax api - so there's really no way of doing this anymore unless you scrape the results pages - which will probably get shut down sooner or later.
- flignats 16y agoIn any event, there are many services out there that you can user to check your SERPs. As mentioned above, Ginzametrics and SEOmoz are two services. They don't get banned. You can also go the market samurai route if you want to, or use many other services out there that track your SERPs
