Citing webrank

Every monthly snapshot gets a DOI via Zenodo (minted automatically from the GitHub release). Cite the snapshot you used, not the rolling list — snapshots never change:

• All versions (always resolves to the newest snapshot): <https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21308995>
• A specific snapshot, e.g. webrank-2026-07: <https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21308996>

webrank list webrank-2026-07, https://webrank.top, doi:10.5281/zenodo.21308996.

BibTeX:

Getting snapshots

• Rolling top-1M (daily): curl -O https://api.webrank.top/list/webrank-latest.csv.gz
• Frozen monthly: curl -O https://api.webrank.top/list/webrank-2026-07.csv.gz
• Git history + full-list archives: github.com/webrank-top/webrank-lists

Columns: rank, domain, webrank_score, pagerank — see the methodology for exact semantics and the changelog for algorithm versions (current: v4).

Reproducibility

Weights, formula, and validation are published in full on the methodology page; all input sources are public. Each monthly GitHub release is archived by Zenodo automatically, so every snapshot's DOI is permanent and independent of us.
