Is there a plan to sell the data as an API?

I am currently working with a client who is exploring the options for building out a similar system.

And/or sell the service where you BYO keyword list and this ranks them. Keyword lists can themselves be scraped from forums and websites in the marked the client is interested. The scraping could also be an add on service.

This would lock in nicely with the keyword research that ahrefs, moz, etc. offer. And other various colour hat seo software.

Selling the data as an API is definitely a potential. I was originally thinking to allow CSV downloads of the data. Would an API be more useful for your client's use case?

You seem to have done most of the hard work, collecting the data. I'm not sure they'd care what format the data was in. Providing it could be expanded to cover the topics their clients need.

Yeah absolutely - topic coverage can be expanded. Shoot me an email and we can chat more: josh at trennd dot co

Sounds great, I'll ping you an email sometime next week!
