Top Search Console pages (Growth+)

Project ID

Number of days to look back, today included (alternative to from/to). At most 487, Google's retention.

Start date (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to 30 days ago.

End date (YYYY-MM-DD), inclusive. Defaults to today. Google publishes data with a 2-3 day lag, so data_through in the response says how far it reaches.

Google ranks rows by clicks and returns at most 25,000 per request. start_row moves that window down the ranking (e.g. 25000 for the next block); sort and pagination apply within the window.

Rectangular output for BI tools (Tableau, Excel, Sheets, ELT). Omit for the default nested JSON. 'flat' returns the same metadata plus 'columns' and 'rows'; 'csv' returns those rows as text/csv. Errors are always returned as JSON.

Which search surface to measure. Defaults to web. discover and googleNews carry no query dimension, so Google rejects /search_console/queries for them.

Narrow the query; every entry must match (AND). Send the whole list as one JSON value: filters=[{"dimension":"page","operator":"contains","expression":"/blog/"}] (URL-encoded). An array of objects has no query-parameter form a generated client can produce, so the string is what the official SDKs send; see the SearchConsoleFilters schema for the shape it encodes. includingRegex and excludingRegex take RE2 syntax. At most 10 entries, expression at most 500 characters. The bracket form filters[][dimension]=page&filters[][operator]=contains&filters[][expression]=/blog/ is also accepted.

final (default) counts only rows Google has finalized. all also counts the most recent days, which are still being filled in and will change.

How Google counts impressions. auto (default) is what Search Console shows (by page when page is grouped or filtered, else by property). Google rejects byProperty with a page dimension or filter.

Which Search Console properties to read; /search_console/properties lists them. Omit it for the primary property, or pass one property id (e.g. sc-domain:example.com) to read that one; both answer with property. A comma-separated list of ids, or all, combines several and answers with properties, excluded_properties and property_errors instead: excluded_properties are left out because another selected property already counts them (a URL-prefix property under a domain property), so no click is counted twice; property_errors are properties Google refused, left out of the figures and also named in the X-Search-Console-Property-Errors header. When Google refuses every property, the request fails as a single-property read would.
