Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be making a website alexa rank checker in php using alexa.com api. All the full source code of the application is given below.
Get Started
In order to get started you need to create an index.php file inside the root directory and copy paste the following code
index.php
<?php
function alexaRank($url)
{
$alexaData = simplexml_load_file("http://data.alexa.com/data?cli=10&url=".$url);
$alexa['globalRank'] = isset($alexaData->SD->POPULARITY) ? $alexaData->SD->POPULARITY->attributes()->TEXT : 0 ;
$alexa['CountryRank'] = isset($alexaData->SD->COUNTRY) ? $alexaData->SD->COUNTRY->attributes() : 0 ;
return json_decode(json_encode($alexa), TRUE);
}
if(isset($_GET['siteinfo']))
{
$url = $_GET['siteinfo'];
$alexa = alexaRank($url);
$globalRank ="Global Alexa Rank of ".$_GET['siteinfo']." is : ".$alexa['globalRank'][0];
$countryRank ="Alexa Rank In ".$alexa['CountryRank']['@attributes']['NAME']." is : ".$alexa['CountryRank']['@attributes']['RANK'];
}
?>
