## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need an open-web, freely reproducible domain authority metric derived from Common Crawl data rather than proprietary metrics from Moz, Ahrefs, or Semrush. It is ideal for agents that require transparent, non-black-box authority signals, or when budget constraints favor per-call pricing over a subscription to commercial SEO tools.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found in Common Crawl index — low or zero score returned
- Malformed or missing domain parameter — validation error
- Domain too new or rarely crawled — score may be inaccurate or unavailable
- Rate limiting or payment failure for x402 calls
