About RankParse

We built RankParse because backlink data is not complicated, but the price is.

Ahrefs charges $129/month for their Lite plan — with a 10-row cap per request and a 50-unit minimum, so most queries cost more than they look. Full API access without row caps starts at $1,499/month. Semrush requires a $499.95/month Business plan just to unlock the API. Prepaid credits on both platforms expire in 30–90 days whether you use them or not.

Meanwhile, the raw material — web crawl data — is freely available. Common Crawl has been indexing the web for over a decade. HTTP Archive, the Chrome UX Report, and a handful of other public datasets fill in the rest. The work is in processing and serving it reliably. The data itself costs nothing.

So we built the pipeline, stood up the infrastructure, and priced it at what it actually costs to run — not what the market will bear. $0.003 per request. Credits that never expire. No subscription required. No sales call to unlock the endpoints you need.

RankParse is built for developers. If you're writing a link-building tool, an SEO audit script, a lead enrichment pipeline, or an AI agent that needs SEO context — you should be able to get the data with a single curl command and a free API key, and only pay when you scale.

That's the whole idea.
