CrawlGraph

Backlink lookup

Look up referring domains (backlinks) for a single target domain from the Common Crawl webgraph. Returns each linking domain with host count and CrawlGraph authority score, plus the target's own authority/rank. Costs one backlinks call against the monthly quota (1,000/mo on lifetime).

Competitor backlink gap analysis

Run a competitor backlink gap analysis: find domains that link to one or more of your competitors but NOT to you. Submits an async job and polls until done (usually 5-30s). Returns every gap with `found_on` listing which competitors each domain links to. Costs one gap job against the monthly quota (50/mo on lifetime).

Outreach target finder

The warm-outreach play. Runs a gap analysis, then ranks results: PRIORITY = domains linking to ALL your competitors but not you (publishers who cover your whole space and have never heard of you), SECONDARY = domains linking to 2+ competitors. Platform/CDN noise is filtered, top N priority targets are scored by authority. Use 2-3 competitors. Costs one gap job + one backlinks call per enriched target.

List Common Crawl releases

List the Common Crawl releases the API can query. Does not count against any quota. Use a release `id` with the backlinks tool to query a specific snapshot.
