# Backlink profile summary

`POST /v1/data/seo/backlinks-summary`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.superagnt.com`
- URL: `https://api.superagnt.com/v1/data/seo/backlinks-summary`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`

Returns a domain or page's backlink profile at a glance: total backlinks, referring domains, domain rank, spam score, broken links, and anchor/TLD distributions (flat object at result[0], no items array). The `rank` here is the target domain's own backlink-authority rank — a different metric from the per-referring-domain `rank` in backlink_gap/referring_domains rows, so the same domain can carry different numbers in each. Use it to qualify a site's authority in one cheap call before deeper link analysis.

## Request body

- object
  - `target` string, required: Domain, subdomain or full page URL. Domains without protocol; pages with protocol.
  - `include_subdomains` boolean: Count links to subdomains too. Default true.
  - `exclude_internal_backlinks` boolean: Ignore links from the target to itself. Default true.

## Response `200`

Backlink profile summary in `result[0]`.

- object

## Other responses

- `400`: Bad request or upstream task error.

- `429`: Too many requests.
