Bulk Ranks
The rank of up to a thousand targets in one call - one row of target and rank. Measured at 533 bytes for two targets, the leanest endpoint here. Wrapped in DataForSEO’s envelope: data in tasks[0].result, upstream charge in tasks[0].cost, outcome in tasks[0].status_code - a rejected request still returns HTTP 200. ⚠️ The bulk family takes targets as a plain array, unlike the intersection endpoints which key theirs by position. For everything known about a single target use post_dataforseo_backlinks_summary_live. 💰 Measured at $0.024 upstream on every endpoint in this family, twice the flat rate billed. This one takes no limit parameter, so the only lever is calling it less often.
