SE Ranking backlinks API
# Backlinks API This collection of requests allows you to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the backlink profile for any given target, whether it's a root domain, a specific host (subdomain), or a particular URL. You can use these endpoints to retrieve high-level statistics, fetch detailed backlink lists, analyze historical trends, and check authority scores. ### Summary & Core Metrics Use these endpoints to get a quick overview of a target's backlink profile. These requests support batching for up to 100 targets. - **`summary`**: Returns extended statistics, including the number of referring domains, IPs, top anchors, TLDs, and more. - **`metrics`**: Retrieves a set of key metrics, such as the total number of backlinks, referring domains, and dofollow/nofollow link counts. - **`count`**: Provides a simple count of the total number of live backlinks for a target. ### Detailed Backlink Retrieval Use these endpoints to get lists of the actual backlinks pointing to a target. - **`all`**: Fetches a detailed list of backlinks with powerful filtering and sorting options. This is ideal for getting the "top" backlinks based on criteria like InLink Rank. - **`raw`**: Retrieves a complete, unfiltered list of all backlinks using efficient cursor-based pagination. This is best for fetching an entire dataset in batches. - **`export`**: Exports all backlinks for a target into a downloadable `.csv.gz` file. This process is asynchronous and designed for very large-scale data retrieval. ### Historical Data & Trends Track changes in a backlink profile over time. - **`history`**: Get a list of new and lost backlinks within a specified date range. - **`history/count`**: Returns the number of new or lost backlinks for each day in a given period. - **`history/cumulative`**: Provides the total number of live backlinks for each day in a given period. ### Analyze Specific Backlink Aspects Dive deeper into specific components of the backlink profile. - **`anchors`**: Returns information about the anchor texts used in links pointing to a target. - **`refdomains`**: Provides details on the unique referring domains, including their authority and the number of links from each. - **`referring-ips`** **&** **`subnets`**: Analyzes the network distribution of backlinks by IP address and C-class subnets. - **`indexed-pages`**: Lists the pages on the target site that have received one or more backlinks. ### Authority Scores Check the calculated authority of a target based on its backlink profile. - **`authority`**: Retrieves both the InLink Rank (Page Authority) and Domain InLink Rank (Domain Authority). - **`authority/domain`**: Focuses specifically on Domain Authority, including its distribution and historical values. - **`authority/page`**: Focuses specifically on Page Authority and its historical values.
