Description I just had to drop Alexa.com integration from our v11 stats addon, before it even launches, which is a real shame. The reason: Amazon is discontinuing alexa.com.

It would be cool to integrate Similarweb or Semrush, which are the modern competitors. But that'd need proper API keys, and probably would be ones users would need to pay for, so probably is not realistic.

This is the commit where I dropped the integration:
https://gitlab.com/composr-foundation/composr/-/commit/56c95060dd5ca96cc5ad85c941699063a124bc38
This would be an outline for integrating another API.
Steps to reproduce

Additional information Why did Amazon drop Alexa.com? In my view Amazon probably realized they have fallen behind competitors, it's not a relevant business for them, and it causes market confusion with the Alexa name that they already repurposed years ago.
Regardless though, it's really sad to me as Alexa and "Alexa Rank" was a core part of web marketing for such a long time, it feels like a part of the original web just died.
