Usage Examples

Full global rankings (fixed broadband)

{
    "mode": "global",
    "connectionType": "fixed",
    "limit": 200
}

Mobile speed rankings

{
    "mode": "global",
    "connectionType": "mobile",
    "limit": 100
}

Specific country details

{
    "mode": "country",
    "countries": ["United States", "Japan", "South Korea", "Germany"],
    "connectionType": "fixed"
}

How It Works

1. Global mode: Fetches the Speedtest Global Index page and parses the median ranking table for the selected connection type. Extracts rank, country name, and median download speed from server-rendered HTML tables.

2. Country mode: Fetches individual country pages at /global-index/{country-slug}. Extracts download, upload, and latency from the result-group elements specific to the selected connection type.

Notes

• Global mode returns median download speed rankings (upload and latency are only available on country detail pages)
• For complete data including upload and latency, use country mode
• Country names should match Speedtest's naming (e.g. "United States" not "USA")
• Data is updated monthly by Speedtest.net based on speed tests taken worldwide
• Rate limited to 20 requests/minute
