Today one of my internet friend share with us a php code to fetch alexa ranking.
- All you need to do copy the code from here.
<?php
$Url = $_GET[‘url’];
function getPage ($url) {
if (function_exists(‘curl_init’)) {
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’]);
return curl_exec($ch);
} else {
return file_get_contents($url);
}
}
function getAlexaRank($url) {
$url = @parse_url($url);
$url = $url[‘host’];
$url = “http://data.alexa.com/data?cli=10&dat=s&url=$url”;
$data = getPage($url);
preg_match(‘#<POPULARITY URL=”(.*?)” TEXT=”([0-9]+){1,}”/>#si’, $data, $p);
$value = ($p[2]) ? number_format($p[2]) : 0;
return $value;
}
$Rank = getAlexaRank($Url);
echo $Rank;
?> - Save the file in your site http://www.yourdomain.com/alexapagerank.php
- Now run the file from browser http://www.yourdomain.com/alexapagerank.php?url=domain_name_to_get_alexa_ranking
Easy and simple step to get any of your website alexa ranking from your site.
Thanks to share this valuable code -NB-

good code. It’s helpful for them who likes to show the alexa ranking in their website or blog. This code can be modified to display the alexa ranking for the same site or blog. I think this can be good plugin too.

Interesting comment since the code gives a error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ on line 17

I have revised the code a bit to make it a tiny bit faster although you should probably cache the results so you do not get banned by alexa for to many queries against them. Also Mr Bill, the code worked just fine except for a few single and double quotes that had been converted by whatever editor was being used. Either that or it was intentionally done to stop copy pasta.
<?php
function getPage($url) {
if (function_exists(‘curl_init’)) {
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’]);
return curl_exec($ch);
} else {
return file_get_contents($url);
}
}
function getAlexaRank($url) {
$url = @parse_url($url);
preg_match(‘##si’, getPage(‘http://data.alexa.com/data?cli=10&dat=s&url=’.$url[‘host’]), $p);
return (empty($p[2])) ? 0 : number_format($p[2]);
}
echo getAlexaRank($_GET[‘url’]);
?>

Grr, code was stripped from the preg_match and should be like this.
preg_match(‘#<POPULARITY URL=”(.*?)” TEXT=”([0-9]+){1,}”/>#si’, getPage(‘http://data.alexa.com/data?cli=10&dat=s&url=’.$url[‘host’]), $p);
