:While both query string (?apikey=...) and header-based authentication methods currently work, we recommend switching to header authentication for enhanced security and future compatibility.
Next steps:

Historical Chart
Enhanced Control Over SERP History and Historical Charts
We’ve updated how data is displayed in SERP History and Historical Charts to give you` more control over maintaining a continuous rank history. Previously, data was automatically filled in, which did not always reflect when it was actually collected. This change ensures that users can choose whether or not to fill in missing data points.
What’s Changed?
There is a new setting called
Maintain Continuous Rank History
(previously 'Fill in rank drops in historical charts'). You can enable this to fill gaps in the historical line chart and SERP history when a keyword drops in rank or can’t be found during automatic updates. The latest available rank data will be used to maintain a continuous flow.This is what is look like with no filling:

Rank Table
Enhanced Project, Group, and Tag search with match type selection
We’ve improved the keyword search experience within projects, groups, and tags by introducing Match Type Selection:
Broad Match (default):
Finds all keywords that contain the search term within a phrase.- Example: Searching for “toothpaste” will return results like “best toothpaste for sensitive teeth” or “fluoride-free toothpaste”.
Exact Match
: Shows only keywords that exactly match the search term.- Example: Searching for “toothpaste” will return only “toothpaste” and exclude variations like “toothpaste brands”.
This enhancement gives you more control over how you search, making it easier to find the keywords you need.
We’ve introduced a new column called ‘Tracked URL’ to enhance your Ranking Table, PDF Reports, live ViewKey links, and CSV exports. The ‘Tracked URL’ displays the URL you entered when adding a keyword, whether through the app or via CSV upload.
Additionally, two new icons have been added next to the URL to help you easily identify the tracking method:
- Exact URL Icon: Indicates the keyword is tracking the specific URL.
- Broad URL Icon: Indicates the keyword is tracking a broader domain or subdomain.
This new field is also included in the CSV export, providing even more flexibility and visibility into your tracked URLs.
To add this column to tour Ranking Table or reports go to the Settings > Table and select the field.

We’re excited to announce significant improvements to how keywords are tracked and displayed in Keyword.com. These updates introduce new settings and refine existing functionality, providing you with greater transparency, flexibility, and control over your data. With these changes, managing your keyword tracking preferences has never been easier or more precise.

- You will be able to easily see if your keyword is set to ignore sub-domains, by hovering over the ranking url field in the Ranking Table.
New Tracking Icons and Tooltips:
- The Ranking Table now features icons in the URL column to indicate whether tracking is set to “Broad” or “Exact.”
- Tooltips for these icons provide additional clarity, displaying both the “Tracking Method” and the status of the “Ignore Sub-Domain” setting.
PDF Reports & CSV Exports:
- PDF exports now include the new “Broad Domain” icon for better visual representation.
- CSV exports include two new columns: “Tracking Method” (showing “Broad” or “Exact”) and “Ignore Sub-Domain” (showing “Yes” or “No”).
API
- You can set wether you want to track the "Broad" or "Exact" domain in the api as well as setting the sub-domain. Check out the API docs for new parameters in the Add Keyword endpoint
These enhancements are designed to give you more control over how you track and analyze your keywords, reduce ambiguity, and provide a cleaner user experience.
