    \ of new and lost backlinks within a specified date range.\n    \n- **`history/count`**: Returns the number of new or\

    \ (Domain Authority).\n    \n- **`authority/domain`**: Focuses specifically on Domain Authority, including its distribution\
    \ and historical values.\n    \n- **`authority/page`**: Focuses specifically on Page Authority and its historical values."
