Interactive Web Stats API

Alpha testing in progress, contact me for more information.

QueryThe.Net's Web Stats API is set up so webmasters can fetch a sites PR, number of site backlinks, number of direct homepage links, number of indexed pages, the page's title & description in a text format for use on your web site. From here you are free to do whatever you please with this informtion as this API is licensed under the lgpl.

Web Stats API roadmap

Login or register for an account at QueryThe.Net. FTP access to your site is required

Request API key (in cPanel after login)

Construct your url - Your finished query will look something like this ...

http://querythe.net/api/?type=txt&info=all&domain=http://www.ebay.com/&api=demo (Click to show results)

Variables
type - (txt,csv or xml) text only now, others coming soon
info - (all,pr,backlinks,deeplinks,dmoz) All fetches everything (explode at '\n'), others only return requested stat.
domain - (url) The complete URL starting with 'http://' and ending with '.html'. URL calls can be made for any domain, not just yours.
api - enter your api code for access

Interpreting Statistics - If the value for the variable info is pr, backlinks or dmoz, the resulting file will return the stat for your selection (pr would yeild a number [0-10], backlinks would return the total number [100000] & dmoz would return 1 for 'included' and 0 for 'not included')

Example:
http://querythe.net/api/?type=txt&info=pr&domain=http://www.ebay.com/
http://querythe.net/api/?type=txt&info=backlinks&domain=http://www.ebay.com/
http://querythe.net/api/?type=txt&info=deeplinks&domain=http://www.ebay.com/
http://querythe.net/api/?type=txt&info=dmoz&domain=http://www.ebay.com/

If the value for the variable info is all, a file will be returned with a newline character (\n) separating each value. For example, the results for http://querythe.net/api/?type=txt&info=all&domain=http://www.ebay.com/ would look like ...

Real World Statistics Usage

PHP code

<?
$url_data = file_get_contents('http://querythe.net/api/?type=txt&info=all&domain=http://www.ebay.com/&api=demo') ;
$data = explode("\n",$url_data) ;
echo $data[0] ; //for displaying PR
echo $data[1] ; //for displaying Total Yahoo! Backlinks
echo number_format(($data[2]*100),1) ; //for displaying Deeplink Percentage
echo number_format($data[3]) ; //for displaying indexed pages
echo htmlentities($data[4]) ; //for displaying the page's title
echo htmlentities($data[5]) ; //for displaying the page's description
($data[6]==1 ? "yes" : "no") //for displaying dmoz inclusion

?>

Getting only one statistic

PHP code

<?
$data = file_get_contents('http://querythe.net/api/?type=txt&info=pr&domain=http://www.ebay.com/&api=demo') ;
echo $data ; //for displaying PR
?>

We certainly hope these stats and this api is useful but we will not guarantee the information accurate. This service was designed to be developer friendly & is released to you under the LGPL for maximum flexibility.
