Rankify registers its endpoints under the rankify/v1 namespace. They serve the plugin’s own admin screens and editor panel, so treat them as an internal API rather than a versioned public contract.

​
Endpoints

Every endpoint requires authentication. There are no public routes.
/retrieval-score is the only one not gated on manage_options. It checks edit_post against the specific post being scored, so an author can see the score for their own draft without being an administrator.

​
Settings

​
endpoint
Merges the supplied values over the stored settings. Send only the keys you want to change.
Fires rankify_settings_update:before and :after.
​
endpoint
Marks the setup wizard as finished and stores the answers.
​
endpoint
Reports which other SEO plugins left data on the site and how many posts each covers. Backs the wizard’s existing-data step. See switching to Rankify.

​
Redirects

​
endpoint
Lists redirect rules.
​
endpoint
Creates a rule.
​
endpoint
Deletes one rule by ID.
​

Imports rules, which is how you bring them across from another plugin’s CSV export.
​

Exports your rules. Useful for moving a rule set between staging and production.
Creating or deleting a rule fires rankify_redirects_changed.

​
404 monitor

​
endpoint
The logged missing URLs, ranked by hit count.
​
endpoint
Clears the log.
​
endpoint
Creates a redirect from a logged 404 in one step, which is what the button on the Redirects & Links page calls.

​
AI and GEO

​
endpoint
AI crawler activity: which crawlers, how often, which pages. Free returns 7 days, Pro returns 90 with verified identity.
​
endpoint
Pro. Visits arriving from AI assistants, per page.

​
Content analysis

​
endpoint
Pro. Scores how quotable a post is for answer engines, across five signals worth two points each.Takes a postId parameter and checks edit_post against it.
The five signals are passage size, self-contained sections, question headings, answer-first opening, and lists and tables. See answer engine optimization.
​
endpoint
Pro. Related pages worth linking to from the post being edited.
​
endpoint
Pro. Pages nothing on the site links to.

​
Notifications

​
endpoint
Sends a test email to the configured recipient.Worth calling before relying on any alert, because WordPress mail is configured outside the plugin and fails silently more often than anything else on a site.

​
Authentication

All endpoints need a capability and a valid X-WP-Nonce header. For calls from outside a browser session, use an application password:
Most of these need manage_options, which is administrator-level access. Create a dedicated user for any automation rather than reusing your own account.
