Dashboards are built for humans clicking around, not for a service that needs a referring-domain list for ten thousand URLs by Tuesday.
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 Shop-ik and the incumbents charge.
The numbers for shop-ik.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.
