Google Updates Search Console API

Using Google’s Search Console API?  John Mueller has posted about some updates Google has made to their Search Console API for site owners.

# Pagination in Search Analytics. Now you can request more than 5000 rows of data for your site, without having to iterate through filters. Check out the “startRow” field documented in http://ift.tt/1KQdA2s

# Crawl errors now include “linked from” information from the start. Check out urlCrawlErrorsSamples.list on http://ift.tt/1Ywa7sC

# Higher & clearer quotas. Like it so much that you just can’t stop using it?  http://ift.tt/1MwDqe0

It seems there is still the limit of 5000 per day, according to API users, but Mueller adds that:

You have to set startRow to 5000 to get the next batch (it also depends on how much data your site actually has).

So each day you can access the next 5000, as long as you change the startRow to reflect that.

Mueller is also asking users of the API to share how they are using the API or tools they are creating using the data from the API.
