Automate portfolio updates
Pull consistent release summaries for many tracked domains on a schedule.
Backlink monitoring API
Bring domain-level referring-domain totals, movement, and gap data into internal tools and reporting workflows.
The portfolio problem
Agencies with established dashboards should not have to copy data from another interface. A focused API lets them add backlink movement to the systems account teams already use.
Power custom reporting
Combine referring-domain movement with rankings, conversions, and account notes in your own client portal.
Build research datasets
Query domain relationships and comparison windows without processing the raw web graph yourself.
A practical workflow
From raw movement to a useful decision
- 1
Authenticate server-side
Keep API credentials out of browser code and use them only from your backend or automation platform.
- 2
Choose explicit releases
Store the source and destination release with every result so reports remain reproducible.
- 3
Cache and respect limits
Backlink releases do not change minute to minute; cache responses and design around your plan's quota.
Worked example
What this looks like in practice
A reporting pipeline can request movement for each client after a new release, save the result beside rank and conversion metrics, and open a review task only when change exceeds an agency-defined threshold.
Coverage and limitations
The API exposes Linkwake's domain-level monitoring model, not raw Common Crawl archives or a real-time URL crawler. Availability and limits depend on the selected plan.

Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
What data can the API return?
The product API is designed around releases, domain summaries, referring domains, movement classifications, and portfolio workflows.
Is the API real time?
No. Results update when a processed Common Crawl web-graph release becomes available.
Can I expose my API key in a website?
No. Treat credentials as secrets and proxy requests through a trusted server.
