Getting the results ranking.
Closed
When searching for a query like "Alone in My Room - Darling", the first result provided isn't the top result. There is no way of knowing which page is the top results. if I want to get only the first results of a query it is almost always the wrong one. In this case it incorrectly returns "Dancing Alone in My Room by 4 Star View" even though searching the same query manually in the genius website returns the correct page as the top results.
Hi,
The issue you are experiencing is not caused by an error in sorting but rather by the proxy you are using. When a request is blocked due to the proxy, it is added to the queue and retried, which can result in a different order in the output.
When we tested with a residential proxy, there was no blocking, and the output matched the order on the website.
Please try using a residential proxy and let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks for your response,
I tried residential proxy but the same issue still occurs. Here's an example of it getting a Turkish version of a song instead of the original one: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/O4XltKb82V1cAOHfx
I don't know what's the best way to solve this, but one way would be to get the rankings of each page (e.g. this is the third results) and then I could modify my client side code to request 10 songs and only choose the one with the highest ranking.
Ideally I would be able to ask the API to ONLY give me the top search results.
Hey there,
I passed this information to the Engineering team and will get back to you as soon as possible.
