Been playing around with ranking APIs

[laner]

Just making a no-captcha/no limit rank checker as a pet project. Any ideas what the most asked for rankings are?

At this point I have Page Rank/Domain Authority/Page Authority all working I want to make it as comprehensive as possible without overwhelming the UI.


page as it stands: RankMate: Free No Limit/No Captcha Page Ranks/Domain Authority/Page Authority Checker

why make this free without rate limiting?

just testing this out at this point there are so many out there that i figure it is just going to be for personal use anyway save for a few personal friends that do SEO work.

Might want to add Alexa rankings + # of backlinks from Alexa. No free API available, but it's easy enough to scrape.

ahrefs.com has an API if you wanted more detailed backlinks data.

Google PageSpeed and Google SafeBrowsing both have APIs, if you wanted to check page speed, and whether or not the site has been marked as malware / phishing.

Ummm, what else do I have sitting here? It's also pretty easy to get the # of times the domain has been mentioned on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. PM if you want details on that.

thanks for the advice Kiopa_Matt. I added alexa rank and sites linking in and it's working I am deff going to pm you about pulling the domain mentions from social media outlets because that would be pretty sweet.

just use sharedcount.com for the social data, it's nothing magical: SharedCount: Social URL Analytics
