POSThttps://seolyticize.com/api/v1/tools/get_search_changes

Two periods of Google search compared, by query or by page: what is new (shown now, not at all before), what was lost, and the biggest gainers and losers by clicks. Answers 'which queries did we start ranking for', 'what did we lose this week' and 'which pages are growing'. brand narrows to branded or non-branded queries (non-branded is what SEO work moves); country and device segment it. Periods end on the newest day Google has finished counting. searchType reads image, video, news, Discover or Google News instead of web (Discover and Google News by page only). Free.

Parameters

Idempotency-Keystringheader

Any unique string, up to 200 characters. A retry with the same key and body is answered from the first answer (Idempotent-Replayed: true) for a day, so it never buys or writes twice; the same key with another body is refused.

Request body
