Scrapingdog Alternative

Switching your rank tracker's data source.

Google, Bing, Yahoo and DuckDuckGo: live · Baidu and Ecosia: opening soon · not GA

Agencies use Scrapingdog to power rank trackers. If you are weighing a switch, compare Google organic and tasks, idempotent retries and failed-search billing. No AI Overview claims are made here.

Baidu and Ecosia endpoints opening soon.

Python · rank job as a Google task
job = requests.post(f"{API}/v1/serp/google/organic/tasks", headers=H, json={"q": "dentist austin", "country": "US"}).json()["job"]
# later: result = GET /v1/serp/tasks/{job['id']} → job.result.organic[].rank

Agency migration plan

  1. Pick a representative keyword set for a few clients.
  2. Run both providers in parallel for a week.
  3. Diff rank and url per keyword; remember rank can be null.
  4. Agree on how to treat the differences, then switch the tracker's source.
