Daily tracking specific keywords positions in google search

1. I tried just to scrap google search results. It works using proxies. But I feel it is not the best solution.
2. What about using google analytics data via google API? At first sight it looks much better to use it but I found some comments that state that data from google analytics search console is not precise (that is strange).

Your best bet is to scrape Google Search results.

Other solutions would be :
- accessing Google Search Console data --> it has 3+ days latency
- using API's of rank tracker : it's basically a middleman as behind that, they are scraping google search results.

Just scrape it, pay attention to your search context (browser, device, ip etc.) so that it matches your audience and you will be fine, it's not that hard if you don't have a lot of keywords to check.

You can actually use Google Search API, it's their API for returning SERP data. Not sure if you can set the location of the SERP data (if you need local results). But there are other API tools that you can use for local data.
