Exports and API

You own your data in SimplyRank. There are three ways to get it out: CSV exports, PDF reports, and the API.

CSV exports

Most pages with data — Dashboard, Trends, Prompts, Brands, Gap Analysis, Citations — have a Download CSV button.

CSV exports include:

• Raw scan results: prompt, AI model, response excerpt, brand mentions, citations, position, sentiment.
• Aggregates by brand, by prompt, by category.
• Time-series data over your selected date range.

CSV exports are useful when:

• You want to do custom analysis in Excel or Google Sheets.
• You want to keep a long-term record beyond your plan's retention.
• You want to share specific data with a stakeholder without giving them dashboard access.

PDF reports

PDF reports are a polished version of your dashboard for sharing with stakeholders. They include:

• Headline scorecards (visibility, position, sentiment).
• Trend charts.
• Top competitors.
• Selected gap analysis insights.

To generate a PDF, click Export → PDF on the Dashboard or Trends page.

PDFs work well for:

• Weekly / monthly stakeholder updates.
• Executive summaries.
• Pitch decks (especially for agencies — see White-label reports).

API access

The API is available on Pro and Advanced (and all Agency plans).

What the API does

Read access to your scan data:

• List scans, with status, timing, and metadata.
• Get scan results for a specific scan.
• Get aggregate metrics (visibility, position, sentiment) for a brand and date range.
• List brands, prompts, categories, citations.

The API is read-only — you can't yet trigger scans or modify config via API. That's on the roadmap.

Authentication

Generate an API key in Settings → API. Keep it secret — anyone with the key can read your data.

Rate limits

API calls are rate-limited per plan to prevent abuse. The current limits are generous for typical BI use cases. If you hit a limit, the response includes headers showing when it resets.

Documentation

Full API docs are at docs.simplyrank.ai/api (link goes live with API access).

Plan availability

Slack alerts

Slack alerts (Pro+) push scan summaries and major changes to a Slack channel. Set up under Settings → Notifications.

Useful for:

• Weekly visibility summaries posted automatically.
• Alerts when visibility drops more than X%.
• Alerts when a new competitor appears.

See Notifications and alerts.
