domain: developers.google.com · 6 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Authenticate with OAuth2 or a service account that has Search Console property access
  2. POST to searchanalytics.query with 'type' (or legacy 'searchType') set to 'discover' or 'googleNews'
  3. Request only compatible dimensions: 'page', 'country', 'device', and 'date' — omit 'query' and 'searchAppearance' which are unsupported for Discover
  4. Parse the response rows; note that 'position' is also unavailable for Discover data
  5. Paginate using 'startRow' and 'rowLimit' (max 25,000 per request) to retrieve all rows
  6. Combine results across date ranges if you need more than the 16-month retention window allows in a single call
