Tranco: A Research-Oriented Top Sites Ranking Hardened Against Manipulation

Tranco

This package allows easy access to the Tranco list, published at https://tranco-list.eu.

Usage

Create a Tranco object, indicating where you want to cache downloaded lists (caching is required):

from tranco import Tranco
t = Tranco(cache=True, cache_dir='.tranco')

You can then retrieve lists from this object using the list method:

latest_list = t.list()
date_list = t.list(date='2019-02-25')

The list method accepts the following parameters:

• date: the date of the list you want to retrieve (in the format YYYY-MM-DD). If not given, the latest daily list is returned
• list_id: the ID of the list you want to retrieve. If neither list ID nor date are given, the latest daily list is returned. If both are given, you will get an exception
• subdomains: whether to include subdomains; only relevant when requesting a daily list. Default: False
• full: whether to retrieve the full list (else only the top million). Default: False

This method returns a TrancoList, which allows you to retrieve a certain prefix of the list (top), the list ID (list_id), the list page (list_page) or the rank of a domain (rank):

latest_list.top(10000)
latest_list.list_id
latest_list.list_page
latest_list.rank("google.com")
latest_list.rank("not.in.ranking") # returns -1

You can also generate custom lists. First, create a Tranco object with valid credentials (available from your account page):

from tranco import Tranco
t = Tranco(account_email="[e-mail]", api_key="123ABC")

Then, pass the configuration (according to this schema) of your custom list to configure:

c = t.configure(
    {
        'providers': ['alexa', 'umbrella', 'majestic'],
        'startDate': '2021-01-01',
        'endDate': '2021-01-30',
        'combinationMethod': 'dowdall',
        'listPrefix': 'full',
        'filterPLD': 'on',
    }
)

This method returns a tuple: whether the list is already available or is still being generated, and the ID that has been/will be assigned to the list.

You can retrieve metadata for a list through list_metadata:

m = t.list_metadata(list_id="6P7X")

If a list is still being generated, you can use this method to track the progress; once a list has been generated, this metadata will indicate how the list was configured.
