Use Backlinks Summary when you want one profile for a domain, subdomain, or page: rank, backlink count, referring domains, spam score, and breakdowns by link type, location, and country. The step returns one object, not a list of links.

​
Configuration

Add this step from the Research group in Search steps…. A value with no scheme, such as example.com, is sent as a domain. www. is removed. A URL with a real path, such as https://example.com/blog/post, is sent as a page. https://example.com/ is treated as the domain example.com. A path without https://, such as example.com/blog, is rejected.

​
Output

Click Run in the step header to test the step. Fetch Hive shows the profile in Output after the run completes. Use the variable picker in a later step to insert the exact output path available for that run. The base reference is:
The output is one object. It includes target, rank, backlinks, referring_domains, backlinks_spam_score, and an info object with target_spam_score. It also includes counts for referring pages, IPs, and broken links, plus breakdowns such as referring_links_tld and referring_links_countries. To use the referring-domain count and the target spam score:
There is no items or results list on this step. Use Backlinks Search when you need the individual links.

​
Example

Add Backlinks Summary from the Research group in Search steps…. Set Name to something like Domain authority. Enter example.com in Target, or insert a variable that resolves to a domain or page URL. Leave Link status on Live, then click Run and review the profile in Output before using fields in a later step.

​
Cost

Hosted runs convert the recorded service cost plus a 6% service fee into task credits. The charge is per request. It does not grow with a row count. See Task costs.

Notes

  • If the provider rejects the target or a filter, the step fails and the error message is the provider’s message. When the step fails then decides whether the workflow stops or continues.
  • Personal model keys are not used. This step always runs as a hosted provider call.
