Comment on Ask HN: Search Engine Rank Checking API?parent

Returning things in a different order is a total deal-breaker, and the mere possibility of that happening makes me wonder if screen-scraping is the only way to get reliable data.

All the factors you mention do influence ranking (local, preferences, etc), but I'm content to get de-personalized, non-geotargeted search results for this purpose.
