if @ alexa page stack overflow can see next global rank offers change of site's rank on past 3 months. may not down level of granularity like, scrape out information relatively , doubt gain additional information looking @ changes of different lengths of time. long term answer collect , store rankings have historical record going forward.

update: here sample code.

import mechanize import cookielib beautifulsoup import beautifulsoup   def changerankscrapper(site):     """     takes site url, scrapes site's alexa page,     , returns site's global alexa rank ,     change in rank on past 3 months.     """      #create alexa url     url = "http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/" + site      #get html     cj = cookielib.cookiejar()     mech = mechanize.openerfactory().build_opener(mechanize.httpcookieprocessor(cj))     request = mechanize.request(url)     response = mech.open(request)     html = response.read()      #parse html beautifulsoup     soup = beautifulsoup(html)      globalrank = int(soup.find("strong", { "class" : "metricsurl font-big2 valign" }).text)     changerank = int(soup.find("span", { "class" : "change-wrapper change-up" }).text)       return globalrank, changerank  #example site = "http://stackoverflow.com/" globalrank, changerank = changerankscrapper(site) print(globalrank) print(changerank)
