API for grabbing out the alexa rank for x website or something more needed to do too?

[Mr Happy]

Alexa have an official paid API system which they encourage you to use but as their toolbars and plugins make connections to get alexa ranks and data you can use these unofficial and non advertised API calls.

Here's an example of a call that returns the data in xml format which you can use

i am working on project where i need Alexa info of any particular domain and do some calculation

like the domain rank
historical graph
traffic rank graph

[Mr Happy]

Well the domain rank is in the above example I gave and for the graph what most sites do is just copy the URL from alexa and show it on their site.

Here is the traffic one

http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?&w=400&h=220&o=f&c=1&y=t&b=ffffff&n=666666&r=3m&u=besthostingforums.com&

and here is the search one

http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?&w=400&h=220&o=f&c=1&y=q&b=ffffff&n=666666&r=3m&u=besthostingforums.com&

You can change the bits in the urls. eg 400 is the width and 220 is the height. ffffff and 666666 are colors. besthostingforums.com is obviously the url. Just modify them to what you need.

thanx mr happy , one more Question is there any formula to calculate total page views per day of website by alexa rank or any other website which tell total page views per day . thanx again

[Mr Happy]

In short no with alexa but you should check out Compete.com as they like alexa have rankings but give a number rather than a rank.

I see alexa only provide xml for the output
if you need output as json format you can use this api :
