Does the new Google Analytics Search Console Beta tool use API to pull more data?

[RosemaryB]

So my client has been asking for definitive proof of why the search query data provided on Google Search Console does not exactly match up the data presented directly in the Search Console itself.  The simple answer is that the Google Search Console is limited to 1000 rows of data.  However our client is requesting a Google article/documentation of why the new Search Console beta tool has no row limit (hence much more data for a big website).

I know that the Google Search Console API was available before Google announced the new Search Console Beta tool in Google Analytics.  I also know this API could pull in more data than the 1000 row limit.  However is there any article available (preferably from Google) that Google Analytics is pulling this Search Console data via API?

Thanks!

Thanks Logan, but that article doesn't say anything about API or the 1000 row limit.

Hi Rosemary,

Here's an article on the Google Webmaster Support site that might provide you with the information you're looking for: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1120006?hl=en

At the bottom there's a section titled 'Why Doesn't Search Console Data Match Google Analytics Data?
