QGP alternative — the apibacklinks backlink API
A developer-first, 10× cheaper QGP alternative: backlinks, referring domains, anchors and Domain Rating as one JSON API. $100 free, DR & counts keyless.
If QGP is the map, what you actually need is the API behind it — same territory, a tenth of the toll. QGP - Quality Backlinks
Between seat limits, row caps and “contact sales” API tiers, pulling raw link data at scale turns into a procurement project.
apibacklinks was built for exactly this: referring domains, backlinks, anchors and a 0–100 Domain Rating, delivered as JSON over a web-scale link graph. Domain Rating and link counts are free and keyless; the heavy backlink and referring-domain lists cost about a tenth of what QGP and the incumbents charge.
The numbers for qgp.com 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.
