This sounds a solution contrived to advantage companies that want access to this data rather than an actual economically valid business model. If building an index and selling access to it is a viable business, then why isn't someone doing it already? There's minimal barrier to entry. Blekko has an index. Are you selling access to it for profit?


There are search engines that sell api access to their index. Pretty sure Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex all do.

Blekko also did, 10 years ago. When they still existed.


I think Brave Search does too?


We do: brave.com/api
