Rush Analytics API integration guide with Google Looker Studio

Google Looker Studio (GLS) is a free online tool that allows you to visualize data, create various reports and dashboards.
The Rush Analytics Rank Tracker Connector is a GLS connector that allows you to visualize the organic ranking data of any site from your Rush Analytics tasks. More information about GLS connectors can be found here

The next step is to select the task ID from the drop-down menu for which you want to get a report. The task ID can be obtained from the address bar of the browser. Just open the desired task in Rush Analytics and copy the numbers at the end of the line. Example:

Please note that each region has its own ID. To get the ID of each region that you want to add to the report, you need to open this region in the task and copy the ID.

3. Type of a report

Select the data group for which you want to receive reports. You can choose one of the following options:

• Ranking history – history of all positions collection dates
• Position dynamics (Tops overview) – this report includes data on the TOP
• Competitors visibility – these reports include competitors’ domains, visibility for the selected period and graph.
• Site visibility (Visibility) – these reports include (same data as in the API): traffic, group name, visibility for the selected update period and graph.

If it is not possible to display a table with data and a chart in 1 report, you need to make a separate type of report for position dynamics, site visibility and competitor visibility.
