Launching my first API solution on Product Hunt 🚀

Hey Indie Hackers!

I'm Aleh, Co-Founder/ CMO at SEO PowerSuite and Awario. It’s great to be back! Today is a special day for us as we’ve come a long way to bring our new product – SEO PowerSuite Backlink API – to Product Hunt:

https://www.producthunt.com/posts/seo-powersuite-backlink-api

Behind this database, there are years of devoted work and challenges. But we continue pushing the boundaries and constantly seeking ways to improve the performance and enrich the database with new data points.

We use the API in our own SEO tools. Now you can integrate it in your software and use the data any way you like.

How does it work?
API works like a two-way communication. The workflow looks as follows:

1. You need to form a command.
2. In the command, specify the data you would like to get (number of backlinks, list of backlinks, InLink Rank, historical data, etc). See the full list of available commands here: https://www.link-assistant.com/u...
3. Add your unique access key (API key).
4. Make an API request. You can:

• paste the command URL right into a browser's address bar
• use the IMPORTXML function to make calls via Google Sheets

5. Instantly get your data back and process it further.

Who would need an API?

This huge backlink database will help your clients reach the top in their niches. As a digital agency, you may be interested in using our dataset while undertaking research, analyzing competitors, creating digital strategies and PR campaigns for your clients, boosting SEO, managing brand reputation, or even adding this data into your reports.

Our backlink index could be used to power any number of third-party software solutions, from basic backlink checkers to comprehensive SEO tools.

One of the largest backlink indexes on the market might be of interest to anyone looking to support their research, be it for commercial or academic purposes.

Things you can do with the API:

✅ Competition analysis. Learn the full story of your competitors’ marketing strategy, business partnerships, and market share.

✅ SEO keyword research. Use competitor backlink strength to predict how stiff the SEO competition in any keyword niche is.

✅ Content ideation. Use link popularity to identify the most trendy, buzzworthy, and likely-to-spread content types and topics.

✅ Ad placement. Follow the flow of backlinks to identify thematically relevant websites and place your links, content, and promo materials.

✅ Campaign monitoring. Use backlink profile growth to measure marketing campaign success.

✅ Website comparison. Check any website for its authority (i.e. the number of high-quality incoming links).

✅ White label usage. You can use SEO PowerSuite Backlink API to power your own tools and re-sell our data within your software and client reports.

✅ Non-profit projects. You can use our data for FREE for academic research or other non-profit projects.

Obviously, there are many more use cases. I’m sure this crawling solution can serve your business in more ways.

💎 Currently, the tool crawls 5 million web pages every minute.

💰 This solution is budget friendly. The proprietary data mining and processing technologies let us maintain the ecosystems with just 1/8th of our competitors’ CPU power. Thus we don’t have to pass inflated maintenance costs onto our customers, and you get the data cheap. It’s a total win-win!
