This one’s for all of you who still haven’t found what you’re looking for~*~ in Rank Tracker’s GSC report, at least. Now you can just use this URL filter 😉

It’s an APIv3 updates kind of day. 

First, our keywords history endpoint now supports the select query parameter and more ranking groups (top 11-20, 21-50, and 51+.) This finer segmentation lets you do quicker updates for keywords with ranking potential.

Also, you can now fetch outgoing link counts and optimize them at scale with our new Outlinks stats endpoints. This was requested only about a million times 😉 Read documentation

With Rank Tracker’s new and ~upgraded~ Tags 2.0 report, you can see historical data, sort by changes, and click on the Keywords column to view them in Overview 2.0.
