[C#] Get Alexa Page Rank Programmatically

So basically we if we want to get the Alexa Page Rank for

a certain url, we have to access their xml API, (I'm sure there's

JSON outhere) and pass the url via querystring, and then just parse

the response.

Here is how:

public static int getAlexa(String URL) {
    int AlexaRank = 0;
    WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://data.alexa.com/data? cli=10&dat=snbamz&url=" + URL);
    WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
    StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
    string line = "";
    while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null) {
        Regex rankRegex = new Regex("");
        Match match = rankRegex.Match(line);
        if (match.Success) {
            AlexaRank = int.Parse(match.Groups[1].Value);
        }
    }
    sr.Close();
    return AlexaRank;
}

and there you go, you can also convert this int, to string

or whatever, nothing complex.

Hope you find this code snippet usefull :)
