Why this DR landing page is useful
It makes a narrow authority endpoint feel production-ready from day one.
Focused request model
Only one `domain` parameter is required, which keeps validation and integration simple.
Authority metrics only
The response stays intentionally compact with `domain_rating` and `ahrefs_rank` at the center.
Low request cost
DR requests are priced as a lightweight endpoint inside the shared credit system.
Unified API keys
No separate auth scheme is needed. The Domain Rating(DR) API reuses your standard Authorization header flow.
Usage visibility
Every request is logged so both customers and admins can review usage later.
Docs-first onboarding
The landing page, API docs, and tester work together so teams can evaluate quickly.
