Does google provides any api for checking a website's search result position for particular keyword?

I am trying to write a program which will find a website's position in google search result. I am planning to make curl request and parse the search result till i get the result. It could have been easy of there is already a google api to find it.

So i would like to know if there is any google api foor it or not?

So finally guys, Since as per yous id开发者_高级运维eas no legal is found I have made myself a small one toll for my self: it can be found in:

No, there is no API for that. By design. And if you're going to do it programatically anyway (e.g. by using Curl to request Google search result pages) then there's is a good chance that Google will start throwing captchas at you, or even block you alltogether.

Google does not want scripts rummaging through their search results.
