Hookupdirectory alternative — the apibacklinks backlink API
A developer-first, 10× cheaper Hookupdirectory alternative: backlinks, referring domains, anchors and Domain Rating as one JSON API. $100 free, DR & counts keyless.
Hookupdirectory is one of the first names people reach for in this space. It's also one of the first they outgrow. Your Ultimate Hookup Resource
The data you want — referring domains, backlinks, anchor text, a Domain Rating — is right there, just locked behind an export button and a price.
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 Hookupdirectory and the incumbents charge.
The numbers for hookupdirectory.net above come straight from that index — proof it works on the brand you’re comparing. Domain Rating and link counts are free and keyless; the heavy lists cost about a tenth of the usual rate. Start with $100 on the house.
