Create rank schedule

create_rank_schedule Configure synthetic DataForSEO rank monitoring. Hosted enrollment is disabled; no supplier call or Ahrefs DR.

`discovery:write`	Writes or admits work

This operation changes saved state. Review its inputs and retry behavior before calling.

Example request

Connect through MCP, CLI, or HTTP. Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.

Returned result

Illustrative data validated against the documented response schema. IDs and dates are examples, not a live account capture. MCP returns this data in structuredContent and in a text content block; generic HTTP and CLI return the JSON result directly.

Input fields

Omit optional fields when you do not want to supply them. Null is accepted only where listed. Unknown input properties are rejected.

Field	Type	Presence	Meaning and constraints
`scheduleId`	string	Required	Identifier of the schedule returned by its create or list operation. pattern: ”^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,128}$“
`projectId`	string	Required	Identifier of the project returned by its create or list operation. pattern: ”^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,128}$“
`target`	string	Required	Exact URL or domain to query, interpreted according to targetKind. minLength: 1; maxLength: 253
`includeSubdomains`	boolean	Optional	Include subdomains of the selected domain in this query. default: true
`anchorAt`	string	Required	The anchor at value; allowed values and bounds are specified in this schema. format: “date-time”; pattern: ”^(?:(?:\d\d[2468][048]\|\d\d[13579][26]\|\d\d0[48]\|[02468][048]00\|[13579][26]00)-02-29\|\d{4}-(?:(?:0[13578]\|1[02])-(?:0[1-9]\|[12]\d\|3[01])\|(?:0[469]\|11)-(?:0[1-9]\|[12]\d\|30)\|(?:02)-(?:0[1-9]\|1\d\|2[0-8])))T(?:(?:[01]\d\|2[0-3]):[0-5]\d:[0-5]\d\.\d{3}(?:Z))$“
`cadenceSeconds`	integer	Optional	Scheduled check interval in seconds, from 3600 to 2592000. minimum: 86400; maximum: 2592000; default: 604800
`staleAfterSeconds`	integer	Optional	The stale after seconds value; allowed values and bounds are specified in this schema. minimum: 86400; maximum: 5184000; default: 1209600
`alerts`	object	Optional	The alerts value; allowed values and bounds are specified in this schema. default: {“enabled”:false,“direction”:“either”,“minimumChange”:10}; additional fields rejected
`alerts.enabled`	boolean	Required
`alerts.direction`	string	Required	values: “increase”, “decrease”, “either”
`alerts.minimumChange`	integer	Required	minimum: 1; maximum: 1000

Validation and omitted values

Hosted creation returns PROVIDER_DISABLED. Synthetic creation requires a test-only injected capability; command arguments and environment flags cannot start collection. Supply scheduleId, projectId, target and anchorAt. Cadence ranges from one to 30 days; freshness ranges from one to 60 days and must cover at least one cadence. The stored metric is DataForSEO rank on its 0-1000 scale. Ahrefs DR and Moz scores use separate metrics. The fixed query includes indirect links, excludes internal backlinks and requests live backlink status. A workspace holds at most 100 schedules. Reusing an accessible schedule ID requires identical configuration; changing target, subdomain policy, anchor or cadence requires a new schedule ID. This development command makes no supplier request, sends no outreach and delivers no alerts.

Defaults when omitted

Field	Default
`includeSubdomains`	`true`
`cadenceSeconds`	`604800`
`staleAfterSeconds`	`1209600`
`alerts`	`{"enabled":false,"direction":"either","minimumChange":10}`

Errors and retries

The command is annotated idempotent. Reuse an accepted idempotency key when the input provides one; changing the payload under a reused key can conflict. See error recovery for status, scope, cooldown, cursor and retry handling. Unknown observations are result data and do not establish loss.
