Link to Google Search Console API Tool
Breaking the 1,000 Row Limitation
Google Search Console typically allows users to export only up to 1,000 rows of data at a time. For SEO managers and analysts dealing with extensive datasets, this limitation can be a significant bottleneck. Fortunately, Google offers an API connector that enables users to bypass this restriction, allowing for more comprehensive data exports.
Introducing the GSC API Connector Tool
This custom-built tool leverages the Google Search Console API, offering a seamless way to export large datasets. Here’s how it works:
- Sign In and Authorize Access
- Begin by signing into your Google account.
- Grant the necessary authorization for the tool to access your Search Console data.
- Select Your Property
- Choose the relevant Search Console property associated with your account.
- Adjust Filters and Settings
- Search Type: Select from web, image, video, or news.
- Date Ranges: Use preset date ranges or set a custom range.
- Dimensions: Page and query dimensions are included by default. You can also add country, date, or device.
- Comparison: Compare different time ranges, such as year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter.

Fetching and Exporting Data
After configuring your settings, you can fetch your data. The tool provides a progress bar to indicate the duration of the data extraction process, which can vary based on the volume of data (e.g., 80,000 to 100,000 rows may take a few minutes).
Preview and Download
Once the data fetch is complete, you can preview the extracted data to ensure accuracy. If everything looks correct, you can then download the data as a CSV file for further analysis.
