Backlinks Get
Fetch live backlink rows for a target domain.
What it does
Backlink research usually means jumping between an SEO suite, a separate export flow, and a spreadsheet. This connector lets Vernclaw return live backlink rows for any target domain with structured Markdown output, audit logging, and a fixed 2-credit cost per use.

Limits and edge cases
- •Default limit is 10 rows.
- •Maximum limit is 100 rows per call.
- •Very new domains may return zero rows if the managed index has not discovered them yet.
- •Only root domains are accepted as targets; paths and subdomains are normalized when possible.
- •Bursty usage may hit temporary throttling and return 429 responses.
Common use cases
Screen a prospect domain before deeper review
Use a quick lookup to confirm the domain has visible backlink activity before you invest more time.
Prioritize outreach targets
Use the top referring domain in the sample to decide which source deserves manual follow-up first.
Check competitor link activity
Run repeat lookups on the same competitor to compare the returned backlink sample over time.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a full backlink export?
No. The connector returns a live sample of backlink rows for fast analysis and ranking, not a complete historical export.
How many credits does it cost?
It uses a fixed 2 credits per use. The cost is set on the connector and does not change dynamically per request.
What happens if I pass a subdomain or a URL path?
The connector tries to normalize the target to the root domain. For the cleanest result, pass the root domain directly.
