# New and lost referring domains, month to month

**Use case:** 

Referring domains of notion.so and clickup.com newly seen and no longer seen in the newest monthly Common Crawl web graph, compared with the previous one, each with its Open Authority, plus gained, lost and stable totals. Only linking domains with Open Authority 30+ are listed: the strong links worth a look. Schedule it monthly to follow any site's link profile.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Bulk Domain Authority & Referring Domains - Open Data](https://apify.com/crawlplant/commoncrawl-domain-metrics.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/crawlplant/commoncrawl-domain-metrics.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
