SEO Backlink Data.
Just What You Need.
Ahrefs and SEMrush bundle everything into one expensive platform. Backlinq unbundles it, four focused endpoints, pay only for what you actually use.
SEO Backlink
Intelligence Unbundled
Clean REST API
Four predictable endpoints with consistent JSON responses. Integrate in minutes, not days.
No Platform Tax
Just the data you need. No bloated dashboards, no unused features, no annual contracts that charge you whether you query or not.
Enterprise-Grade Data
Production-ready backlink intelligence. The same data layer that justifies four-figure subscriptions, available per query.
You're paying for a platform. You only needed an API.
The platforms were built for enterprise marketing teams. Everyone else is paying for features they will never open.
Built for teams, priced for everyone
Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Moz bundle rank tracking, keyword research, site audits, and content tools into one platform. You need backlink data. You pay for all of it anyway.
Subscriptions don't fit how you work
Freelancers run audits twice a month. Developers query on demand. Agencies build pipelines, not dashboards. None of these patterns justify a monthly subscription that charges the same whether you query or not.
Programmatic access is locked away
On Ahrefs, API access starts at $449/month. On SEMrush, you need a Business plan plus separate API unit purchases. Getting backlink data into your product costs more than the product itself.

Built for you
From solo developers to agency teams, built for anyone who needs backlink data without the platform that comes with it.
Developers
Build without the bloat
You need domain intelligence in your product. Every other option costs more than your entire infrastructure budget or buries API access behind a sales process. Four production-ready endpoints, instant API key, free tier to build and test.
SEO Freelancers
Pay for what you actually use
You run backlink audits for clients twice a month, not twice a day. Pro at $49/month covers your entire monthly workload across multiple clients for less than half the cheapest Ahrefs plan you'd barely touch.
Agencies & Dev Teams
Build on top of backlink data
Ahrefs API access starts at $449/month. Building client-facing tooling or internal reporting pipelines on that economics doesn't work. Scale at $129/month gives you 2,500 programmatic queries, less than a third of the cost.
