Does Google offer API access to the mobile friendly test?

Question

Is there an API that allows access to Google's Mobile Friendly Test which can be seen at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/?

Answer 1

If you can't find one by googling, it probably doesn't exist.

A hacky solution would be to create a process with PhantomJS that inputs the url, submits it, and dirty-checks the dom for results.

PhantomJS is a headless WebKit scriptable with a JavaScript API.

However, if you abuse this, there is a chance that google will blacklist your ip address. Light use should be fine. Also be aware that google can change their dom structure or class names at any time, so don't be surprised if your tool suddenly breaks.

Here is some rough, untested code...

var url = 'https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/';
page.open(url, function (status) {

  // set the url
  document.querySelector('input.jfk-textinput').value = "http://thesite.com";
  document.querySelector('form').submit();

  // check for results once in a while
  setInterval(function(){
    var results = getResults(); // TODO create getResults
    if(results){
      //TODO save the results
      phantom.exit();
    }
  }, 1000);
});
