Ahrefs' Domain Rating endpoint is now free! You don't even need an API key.
I built a tool to show it off (and possibly send you some visitors?) 🎉
The idea is simple: Enter your site, reveal your DR, and find other sites with the same score.
If you like, you can also submit your domain to be one of the recommendations, and potentially get some visitors sent your way.

Of course, I'm not expecting this to go viral in any way, but you might reach a few marketers and webmasters in your niche.
The idea is a little cheesy, I know, but I had to test out the new endpoint myself.
Simplified, DR aims to show the strength of a website's backlink profile compared to other sites in the Ahrefs database.
It works on a 0-100 scale, and can be useful for quick competitor benchmarking, link prospecting, outreach prioritization, and more.
To give some context on the numbers...
Wikipedia: DR 97
Ahrefs: DR 91
YCombinator: DR 91
Tinder: DR 82
Detailed: DR 73
Even if you're not technically savvy, it's still super easy to use. Point your AI assistant of choice straight to the Ahrefs API docs, and it will figure out the rest.
Hopefully you find this new endpoint useful in your workflows! 🙌
