Ranker

Ranker is a consumer internet company that runs ranker.com, a crowdsourced ranking and voting platform where users vote on and create rankings across pop culture, entertainment, film, TV, music, food, sports, and other consumer topics. Its business arm licenses "Ranker Insights" audience-intelligence and opinion-graph data - drawn from more than 1.5 billion votes, 115 million voters, and 260,000 rankings - to brands, agencies, publishers, and for AI/LLM training. Ranker does not publish a public, self-serve developer API; a private api.ranker.com powers the site and its robots.txt prohibits automated scraping and AI/LLM training use. Data access is sales-led via business.ranker.com. Backed by Bullpen Capital and DCVC.

Ranker is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Entertainment, Media, and Rankings.
