}Features
A single 0–1000-scale domain rank for any site, derived from its backlink profile and ranking footprint, so you can compare and prioritize domains at a glance.
A modeled monthly organic-visit figure based on the domain's ranking keywords and their search volumes — directional and ideal for benchmarking one domain against another.
The number of keywords the domain ranks for in organic search, a fast proxy for the breadth of its SEO footprint before you pull the full keyword list.
Total backlinks plus the count of unique referring domains in the same response, so you can gauge link strength without a separate backlinks call.
A sample of the domain's strongest keywords with position and search volume, enough to see what drives its traffic before drilling into the Domain Keywords API.

console.log(data);The domain overview API — authority, traffic & backlinks in one call
YepAPI's domain overview API turns any domain into a structured organic-search profile: authority score, estimated monthly traffic, total ranking keywords, backlink count, referring-domain count, and top keywords — all in a single $0.04 call. It's a domain authority checker, traffic estimator, and backlink counter behind one endpoint, so profiling a site is one request instead of five browser tabs.
Pass a bare domain and get clean JSON back, ready to store, sort, or display. Loop it over a list to benchmark competitors, rank link prospects, or vet acquisition targets at scale. With no monthly minimums and pay-as-you-go pricing, it's the cheapest way to add programmatic domain intelligence to an SEO tool, agency dashboard, or research pipeline.
What is a domain overview API?
A domain overview API returns a website's organic-search metrics as data — authority, traffic, keyword count, and backlinks — rather than as a dashboard report. That makes domain analysis automatable: profile hundreds of domains, sort them by strength, and feed the results into your own tools. YepAPI delivers the full headline metric set for any domain in one $0.04 call, with bare-domain input and structured JSON output.
Build your own competitor analysis tool
Build a competitor analysis or domain-research tool on this single endpoint. The response gives you authority, traffic, keyword count, backlinks, referring domains, and top keywords — enough to power competitor dashboards, link-prospecting workflows, agency audit reports, and M&A due-diligence checks. Pair it with the Domain Competitor Finder API to discover rivals and the Backlinks Summary API to go deeper on link profiles.
Domain overview API pricing — $0.04 per call
Domain overview API pricing is $0.04 per domain, with no monthly minimums, no seats, and no contracts. Ahrefs and Moz gate comparable authority and traffic data behind monthly or four-figure plans; Semrush keeps it on enterprise tiers. YepAPI is pay-as-you-go with $5 of free credit — about 125 domains — to start, so you can prototype before committing a cent.
Bulk domain analysis at scale
Bulk domain analysis is a loop: pass each domain, collect the JSON, and sort by traffic or authority. At $0.04 a domain with no rate-limit minimums, scanning a niche's worth of sites costs a few dollars. Use it to rank link-building prospects, screen guest-post targets, or shortlist acquisition candidates — all programmatically, all from one endpoint and one API key.
