Ruby & Selenium Script to Check Google SERP ranks

Haven’t used this in a while but it used to work really well untill google would throw a captcha at you after the first 5000 queries. Might be of use to someone. It’s designed for linux and you’ll need selenium up and running to work it.

dres = IO.popen(dcom)
date = dres.readlines.to_s.gsub(‘/’, ‘_’)
date.chomp!
logfile = File.dirname(__FILE__) + ‘/logs/quick’ + date + ‘.txt’

size.downto(1) { |n| push delete_at(rand(n)) }
