With thenew Search Analytics API, it's
now time to gradually say goodbye to theold CSV download scriptsfor
information on queries and rankings. We'll be turning off access to these downloads on October 20,
2015.
These download scripts have helped various sites and tools to get information on queries,
impressions, clicks, and rankings over the years. However, they didn't use thenew Search Analyticsdata, and relied on the deprecated Client Login API.
Farewell, CSV downloads, you've served us (and many webmasters!) well, but it's time to move on.
We're already seeing lots of usage with the new API. Are you already doing something neat with the
API? Let us know in the comments!
