Is there a free domain authority API?
Yes: Linkheft gives 1,000 domain lookups a day with no key, up to 50 domains per call.
Is this the same score as Moz DA?
No. Linkheft scores domains from Common Crawl web-graph centrality and the Majestic Million, on a 0-100 scale. It is its own score, not Moz Domain Authority.
How fresh is the data?
Each answer says which data release it comes from (GET /api/dataset); the API always uses the latest release.
