Not all SEO tools are black hat scrapers anymore, Majestic announced they are now using's Google Search Console API for position checking and reporting.
They said "Majestic is really pleased to be able to share today’s release... Google compliant rank checking and keyword search data for your verified sites!"
In fact, Google's very own webmaster channel on Twitter replied to the announcement telling Dixon Jones from Majestic "thank you" for making that switch.
Here the tweets:
Thank you, @Dixon_Jones !

Isn't it so sweet and precious when the tool makers get along with Google?
