Moz alternative — the apibacklinks backlink API
A developer-first, 10× cheaper Moz alternative: backlinks, referring domains, anchors and Domain Rating as one JSON API. $100 free, DR & counts keyless.
Moz is one of the first names people reach for in this space. It's also one of the first they outgrow. As it describes itself: “… replies. More details here. Ahrefs Backlinks VS Moz Backlinks HI Team and members We have website related to …”
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 Moz and the incumbents charge.
The numbers for moz.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.
