Reference example
New and lost backlink counts for many targets since date_from - one row of target, new_backlinks and lost_backlinks. Measured at 654 bytes for two targets. Wrapped in DataForSEO’s envelope: data in tasks[0].result, outcome in tasks[0].status_code - a rejected request still returns HTTP 200. Use it to spot which sites in a list are gaining or bleeding links. For one target broken into periods use post_dataforseo_backlinks_timeseries_new_lost_live; for referring domains rather than links, post_dataforseo_backlinks_bulk_new_lost_ref_domains_live. This one takes no limit parameter, so the only lever is calling it less often.

Example

First time? Point any MCP client at https://mcp.aisa.one/mcp — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and the rest. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser, you click Allow once, and there is no key to paste. The commands per client, and what each call costs, are on aisa.one/mcp.

For endpoints supporting X-AISA-Cost-Mode: quote, obtain a free quote for your exact request before execution; reconcile the settled cost with response metadata and Usage Logs. USD amounts use 1,000,000 integer micro-USD per dollar.
