Backlinks Get Tool - Live Backlink Lookup for SEO

What is Backlinks Get?

Backlinks Get is a Vernclaw SEO connector for fetching live backlink rows for a target domain. It gives you a compact Markdown response that is easy to scan in the CLI or parse in an agent workflow.

This connector uses fixed pricing: 2 credits per use.

AI Agent-Friendly Design

• Markdown-first output: backlink rows, referring domains, and rank signals are returned in a stable text format
• Easy to parse: agents can read the target, fetchedBacklinks, and topReferringDomain fields directly
• Limit-based sampling: keep the result small for fast triage, or raise the limit when you need a broader view
• No external API key management: Vernclaw handles the managed runtime and request logging for you

Why Use Backlinks Get?

Review link profiles without exporting CSVs

Backlink review often means logging into a separate SEO suite, exporting reports, and cleaning the data by hand. Backlinks Get returns the live rows you need directly inside Vernclaw.

Speed up outreach and acquisition checks

• Find the strongest referring domain in a batch
• Sanity-check a target before a partnership or acquisition
• Compare backlink samples across domains in a repeatable workflow

Keep the workflow agent-friendly

Because the output is already normalized, an agent can turn the result into:

• a quick backlink summary
• an outreach shortlist
• a follow-up task list for deeper SEO review

How to Use Backlinks Get

Step 1: Pick a target domain

Use the root domain as the target. Example:

• example.com
• vercel.com

You can also pass an optional limit to control how many backlink rows are returned.

Step 2: Run the connector from the CLI

# Fetch the default backlink sample
vernclaw-cli invoke seo.backlinks --target example.com

# Fetch a smaller or larger sample
vernclaw-cli invoke seo.backlinks --target example.com --limit 5

Step 3: Read the output

The response is normalized into these fields:

• Target: the domain you queried
• Fetched Backlinks: how many backlink rows were returned
• Top Referring Domain: the strongest referring domain in that batch

Example output

# Backlinks Lookup

- Target: vercel.com
- Fetched Backlinks: 5
- Top Referring Domain: github.com

Common Use Cases

• Audit backlinks before a domain acquisition
• Find the top referring domain for outreach
• Check whether a competitor is gaining link momentum
• Create a lightweight backlink snapshot for an AI workflow

Limits and Edge Cases

• The default limit is 10 backlink rows per call.
• The maximum limit is 100.
• Very new domains may return zero results if the managed backlink index has not discovered them yet.
• Only root domains are accepted; paths and subdomains are stripped automatically.
• Bursty requests may hit temporary throttling and return 429 responses.
