Built a Python Wrapper for SerpSpur’s API to Automate Competitor Analysis

I got tired of spending hours every week pulling SEO data from different dashboards, exporting spreadsheets, and manually combining everything into reports.

So this weekend, I built a lightweight Python wrapper around the SerpSpur API that automates most of my competitor analysis workflow.

What it does

The script pulls:

Keyword ranking positions
Backlink changes
Page speed metrics
Competitor domain data

…and exports everything into a single clean CSV file for reporting.

Why I built it

My old workflow looked something like this:

Open multiple SEO tools
Export ranking reports
Copy backlink changes manually
Run page speed checks
Merge everything into spreadsheets
Clean formatting for clients/team updates

It usually took around 3 hours every week.

Now the wrapper handles everything in about 15 minutes.

Tech Stack
Python
Requests
Pandas
CSV exports
SerpSpur API
Biggest win

The main benefit wasn’t just saving time — it also reduced reporting inconsistencies.

No more:

missing rows
duplicate keywords
outdated screenshots
forgotten competitor checks

Everything runs from one script now.

Possible next steps

I’m thinking about adding:

automated trend charts
scheduled reporting
Slack/Discord notifications
Google Sheets sync
historical keyword tracking
GitHub

Code’s on my GitHub if anyone wants to fork or improve it.
