Obtain the number of backlinks from the Bing API

Is there a开发者_运维知识库 way to get the number of backlinks for a specific domain using the Bing API?

I'd like to implement some kind of automatic popularity index for websites/domains.

You can get google back links using their API.

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=site:test.com

Then parsing the JSON -> responseData -> cursor -> estimatedResultCount will get you backing count.

Yahoo has deleted Site Explorer and I don't think Google supplies this data to the public.

However, Ahrefs, Moz, MajesticSEO and other crawlers do provide this data.
