Backlink Gap Audit Report - DataForSEO Backlinks API
Prepare a bounded backlink-research shortlist for a supplied target and its competitors. The Actor uses the provider’s domain-intersection records to return available gap-domain and linked-target evidence.
Live data requires a paid Apify plan, with DataForSEO access included and no separate provider account needed. The report price is $0.25 per bounded gap report. A free-plan run leaves the dataset empty without live requests or report charges, regardless of a Try for free button label.
Start with one input
Open the Actor, replace the sample with your research target and inspect the Pricing tab. Set a run spending limit before execution. This input demonstrates the format, not a guaranteed finding:
{"targetDomain": "apify.com","competitorDomains": ["zyte.com"],"limit": 25}
Read the result before acting
Check linkedTargets and rawResult before acting on a gap record. Export the candidates and tag them for relevance and source type, rather than treating the score as a quality assessment or permission to place a link.
The input supports up to five competitor domains and a result limit up to 100. This is an indexed, bounded query, not a fresh crawl of every backlink or proof a publisher will accept outreach. The sanitized example uses placeholder domains and is not independently verifiable proof of current vendor access.
Charges and source failures
For valid paid work, the report event is reserved before the provider request. An empty response or provider error can therefore occur after billing. Check the row’s status and RUN_SUMMARY before retrying; a failed lookup is not evidence that the target has no results, and a retry is a new paid request.
These are Actor event fees in addition to applicable Apify plan charges. Review source links and timestamps before making a decision, and do not interpret a heuristic score as a verified outcome.
