About

I'm Abhi. I build developer tools, mostly solo, mostly because I ran into a problem and couldn't find a solution that didn't feel like it was designed to extract money rather than provide value.

RankParse came out of building Reepl — a LinkedIn content and outreach tool. I kept needing backlink and domain data for lead enrichment and targeting. Every API I looked at required a subscription that started at $99 a month, with row caps, unit minimums, and credits that expired whether I used them or not. Ahrefs wanted $1,499 a month just to remove the 10-row cap. Semrush required a $499.95 Business plan to unlock the API at all.

The data itself isn't the hard part. What's hard is processing it at scale, serving it fast, and pricing it honestly. I spent a few months building the pipeline, and what came out the other side was an API that does what I needed — backlinks, domain authority, tech stack, page metadata, and 20+ other signals — at $0.01 per request, with credits that never expire.

No investors. No team. No enterprise sales motion. Just a tool I built for myself that turned out to be useful enough to ship.

If you're building something on top of SEO data, I'd love to hear what you're working on. You can find me on X and LinkedIn.
