What are the alternatives for a full web search API? Yahoo BOSS closed down a few weeks ago. Bing seems the last man standing. And, unfortunately, none of the ones I've tried are very good; one project I'm working on needs to prioritize newer results over older ones, and only Google had a sort by date option (which I think was also removed in the past).
Does anyone know of an API that returns pages related to any given URL? I'm looking for an alternative to Google's "related:..." search, which was only reliably accessible through Google Web Search (Google Custom Search is very expensive and has a limit of 10K queries per day). For example: https://www.google.com/#q=related:http:%2F%2Fagiliq.com%2Fbl... It returns pages related to any given page, and works at the spe…
While you're looking for this feature in the meantime, ping the Bing team and ask for it as an added function of their API. Microsoft is a lot more open to feedback these days.

Slightly OT: Does anyone know how RankScanner works? My guess was this but it still seems to work. Their site seems to suggest they have loads of servers, but seems unlikely, I'd have thought Google would have captached them to hell by now. Very good product. I'm curious how it works though.
Having built a ranktracker before, and still being good friends with people who run one of the biggest rank trackers on the market, using the google API's simply isn't an option. Simply put, the API never returned the results in the exact same order as the actual search results did. The best / most reliable rank trackers did (and still do) simply use proxies to get around the google captchas. I've scraped millions of…

Any idea on how best to get in touch with them?
This is terrible news and with Pagerank also disabled recently, now 2 features of our domain health testing service has been crippled. Pagerank was easy to replace with moz rank but this data was irreplaceable due to the fact that it was specific and unique to google. Rip one of our main tools.

Those are the only web scale indexes that have an API I am aware of these days.
