Dashboards are built for humans clicking around, not for a service that needs a referring-domain list for ten thousand URLs by Tuesday.

apibacklinks turns all of that into a single JSON call over a 2.7-billion-edge map of the web — no dashboard, no scraping, no SDK. Domain Rating and link counts are free and keyless; the heavy backlink and referring-domain lists cost about a tenth of what Backlinkvalidator and the incumbents charge.

The numbers for backlinkvalidator.com above come straight from that index — proof it works on the brand you’re comparing. Point your integration at the endpoint below, keep your $100 of starter credit, and bill only for the calls you actually make.
