Query search analytics
query_search_analyticsRetrieve clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position from Google Search, grouped by query, page, device, or other dimensions to analyze search performance and identify trends.
Instructions
Clicks, impressions, CTR and average position from Google Search, grouped by any combination of dimensions. This is the whole of the Performance report, as an API.
Give a date range as either period ("last28days") or start_date and end_date. Data is finalised 2–3 days behind, and only the last 16 months are retained.
Two things about the numbers. Rows are capped at row_limit (default 100, maximum 25,000) and paged with start_row. And with the query dimension, Google withholds rare queries for anonymity, so the rows never sum to the property total — query without it when you need a true total.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | No | Which search surface. Defaults to WEB. | |
| period | No | A relative range, resolved against today in Pacific Time — which is the time zone Search Console counts days in. Alternative to start_date/end_date, not combinable with them. | |
| filters | No | Restrict the rows. You do not have to group by a dimension to filter on it. Combined with filter_type. | |
| end_date | No | Last day of the range, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD) | |
| site_url | Yes | The Search Console property: "sc-domain:example.com" for a domain property, or "https://example.com/" for a URL-prefix property (the trailing slash is required) | |
| row_limit | No | Rows to return, 100 by default. Raising this is the fastest way to fill a context window with near-identical rows; page with start_row instead where you can. | |
| start_row | No | Zero-based offset for paging. Defaults to 0. | |
| data_state | No | FINAL (default) omits the incomplete recent days; ALL includes them; HOURLY_ALL is required for the "hour" dimension. | |
| dimensions | No | Group by these, in this order. Omit for a single totals row. "hour" needs data_state="HOURLY_ALL" and only covers about the last ten days. | |
| start_date | No | First day of the range, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD) | |
| filter_type | No | How the filters combine. Defaults to "and". | |
| aggregation_type | No | How impressions are counted. AUTO (default) is right almost always. |
