Paid	Not limited	100	15.000	overview, backlinks	N/A

How Limits Work

• Free users: The 50-run trial does not reset. Only the first unique URL(s) are processed per run.
• Paid users: Can process up to 100 unique URLs and request up to 15.000 backlinks per URL per run. The Actor will stop processing once the limit is reached.
• All users: Duplicate identifiers are removed before limits are applied. Apify usage charges and any external verification costs are separate.

❻ FAQ

How do I get started?

Click "Try for free" at the top of the page and sign in to Apify. Add your domains or page URLs, choose Backlinks or Overview, as search type and start the run. You can view results in the Apify Console as they arrive and download them from the dataset as CSV, JSON and various others.

What is the difference between Backlinks and Overview search?

Backlinks returns individual links with source and target URLs, anchor text, last-seen dates, and linking-domain metrics where available. Overview returns one backlink profile per target, including totals, referring domains, dofollow and nofollow shares, and daily history. Choose Backlinks to inspect linking pages, or Overview to compare profiles and track trends.

Can I check a whole website or just one page?

Yes! Use domain mode to find backlinks to a domain, or page mode to focus on a specific URL. The unique_domain and unique_page modes use the same scopes but keep only the first accepted backlink per referring hostname. All modes remove duplicate backlinks, and results arrive as they become ready.

Why did I receive fewer backlinks than requested?

The max_backlinks setting is a maximum, so a target may return fewer records. Results depend on the links available from the sources, your selected scope, duplicate removal, source filtering, and your plan or run budget. Overview totals describe the source's broader backlink profile and may exceed the number of individual links returned.

What format are the results in?

Results are stored as JSON records in the Apify dataset. You can view them as a table and export them as CSV, XLSX, or other supported formats from the Apify Console. Use output_fields to select the data columns you need for your SEO reports, dashboards, or integrations. The capture timestamp, record type, input URL, and mode are always included.

❼ While the scraper is running

During the run, the actor will output log messages letting you know what is going on at any point. Each message always contains specific information about the process including which url / page the actor is working on.

If you provide invalid inputs to the actor, it will immediately stop with a failure state and output log messages explaining what is wrong. If you are unsure what went wrong feel free to open up an issue in the issue tab.
