Mediumspot alternative — the apibacklinks backlink API
A developer-first, 10× cheaper Mediumspot alternative: backlinks, referring domains, anchors and Domain Rating as one JSON API. $100 free, DR & counts keyless.
Mediumspot earned its reputation the hard way. The problem isn't the data; it's getting that data out, cheaply, as JSON. Guest Posting & Listicle Site for All Category - Contact for Guest Posting
Between seat limits, row caps and “contact sales” API tiers, pulling raw link data at scale turns into a procurement project.
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 Mediumspot and the incumbents charge.
The numbers for mediumspot.com above come straight from that index — proof it works on the brand you’re comparing. Grab a key, pass ?key=, and you're migrated — with $100 of credit and no monthly minimum waiting on you.
