I think you need to pay for the api, but I could be wrong as I'm not
that familiar with their system. Isn't Quantcast basically the same
setup? You need to signup and add their javascript code to your pages.
You can do that, and I have with one site, but they were *very* close
to the exact traffic numbers before I did (and on other sites I work on).

Well, now I am interested. I made a quick utility script to see if I
could fetch a site's rank from their site and it seems to be easier than
I expected. ;-)
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
my $site = "sedition.com";
my $quant_url = "http://www.quantcast.com/search/"; .$site;
my $get_page = get($quant_url) or die 'Unable to fetch: ' .$quant_url;
my @quant_file = split(/\n/, $get_page);
my $rank_count = 0;
foreach my $rank (@quant_file) {
if ($rank =~ "Rank: <strong>") {
$rank_count++;
if ($rank_count == 1) {
$rank =~ s/\D//g;
print "Quantcast rank for " .$site. ": " .$rank. "\n";
}
}
}
