Legal

Terms of use

The rules of the service, ordered by what you are most likely to need. By using the API or the site you accept them.

Your account and key

You sign in with a Google account. One person or team holds the account and is responsible for what its keys do. Keep keys secret. If one leaks, replace it.

Keys can be revoked if they are used in ways described below.

Availability

We aim to keep the API up but offer no uptime guarantee. Maintenance, index rebuilds and outages happen. Plan scripts to retry politely and to fail safe.

Rate limits may apply to protect other users. If you need a bulk workload, use the bulk_dr action rather than thousands of single requests.

Credits and money

Service is prepaid. One credit is $0.0001. New accounts get $100 of free credit, which is 1,000,000 credits, without a card. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum.

Top-ups are paid in USDT (TRC-20) from the account page. Errors cost nothing. A successful call is billed once whatever the number of rows. Credits we granted free have no cash value. Top-ups are spent on calls at the prices shown, so check the amount before you pay.

What you may not do

Do not attack the service, bypass limits, or resell raw access as a competing API without agreement. Do not use the data to harass a person or to run a scheme that breaks the rules of a search engine.

We may suspend an account that does these things. We will explain why when we can.

About the data

Plainly. The index is ours, our own crawler and our own index, refreshed roughly monthly. It will be incomplete, and some links will be missing or late. Do not make irreversible decisions on one reading.

DR is our own 0 to 100 metric and differs from third-party scores. We do not promise rankings, traffic or the outcome of any action you take, including a disavow.

Linking from your own tools to our responses is fine. Please cache sensibly, because stale numbers travel further than you think.

Liability and changes

The service is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, our liability is limited to the amount you paid in the three months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect loss.

We may change these terms, and prices of calls, with notice in the account. Continued use after that is acceptance. Questions and requests go through the account page, and our data practices are in the privacy notice.
