We need something better than that :) The API from Google was also very slow, unreliable and did not always show the same results as regular web users would get.

I agree, Google could easily reduce the amount of bandwidth used by scrapers by providing an API, this would cut out most of the code scrapers dont take notice of anyway. Should've brought this out years ago IMO. Google obviously realise rankings are part of a webmasters metrics as they show them in Webmaster Tools (innacurately).

I suppose that it has something to do with the fact that you could use the SOAP API without having ads served.
