Where is the PR metric pulled from?

[insectlife]

On the face of it this is potentially a stupid question, but I honestly don't think I've ever seen this covered and doubt my colleagues would know:

When tools such as SEOquake and Scrapebox reference PR where is this coming from? I know it's a Google metric but my understanding is that it used to be only viewable via a toolbar which either no longer exists or works.

I can't imagine Google granting API access to people ala your Moz Metrics such as DA, PA, so where does it come from?

Be gentle...

Google still updates it's PR toolbar.​

Thanks CCarter, you really need to let someone else answer these questions

For someone else, how does Scrapebox or a tool such as Bulk DA Checker - Domain Authority Checker Tool, Moz Authority pull in bulk though? It would still use the toolbar?

Only stupid question is the one you don't ask, and all.

Moz's API is free upto a million rows - Mozscape API Pricing - Moz

Wouldn't be difficult to get some proxies to fool it.

If you don't like my answers, that's no problem - but they are correct, and I only answer questions that get zero responses. Don't know how helping people out is a problem all of a sudden. Yeah, Fuck me for answering...​

To use Scrapebox to scrape 100s//1000s of PR stats, you will need a lot of proxies. Google temp rate limits them fast.

I can only apologize for any intended offense, but there really isn't any there.

I was trying to imply that you often help myself [and others] out and even thanked you.
