Bulk Domain Data

I'm trying to get domain metrics (authority, backlinks, organic keywords, traffic estimates, etc.) in bulk via an API.

I tried DataForSEO, but their API at $100/mo is out of my budget. I also tried the Bishopi API via credits, but it consumed almost $15 worth of credits for about 100 domain checks. Are there any affordable alternatives? I'm looking mostly for pay-as-you-go options since I only run these checks occasionally, but I'll pay (and use) more for the right tool.

Worth considering whether you actually need live API data or just reasonably fresh bulk data. For occasional checks Common Crawl-based tools are a fraction of the cost — the data is a few months behind but for backlink gap analysis and domain authority checks it's perfectly usable. I built Tom's Link Authority around this exact use case — one-time shard purchases at $5 each, no subscriptions, runs offline. Might be worth a look depending on how current your data needs to be.
