Overview
The node integrates with the DataForSEO API to retrieve backlink ranking data in bulk. Specifically, the "Get Bulk Backlink Rank" operation allows users to submit up to 1000 targets (pages, domains, or subdomains) and receive backlink rank information for each. This is useful for SEO professionals and digital marketers who want to analyze backlink profiles at scale, monitor link authority, or compare backlink strength across multiple URLs or domains.
Practical examples include:
- Evaluating the backlink rank of a list of competitor websites.
- Monitoring backlink rank changes for a large set of client domains.
- Aggregating backlink rank data for pages targeted in a marketing campaign.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Targets | A collection of up to 1000 targets to query backlink ranks for. Each target can be a domain, subdomain, or webpage URL. Domains and subdomains should be specified without https:// or www. prefixes. Pages require full absolute URLs including http:// or https://. The targets in a single request cannot belong to more than 100 different domains. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing backlink rank data corresponding to one of the requested targets. The exact structure depends on the DataForSEO API response for bulk backlink rank queries but generally includes metrics related to backlink authority, rank scores, and possibly additional backlink profile details.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated explicitly here), it would typically represent downloadable reports or files related to backlink analysis.
Dependencies
- Requires an active DataForSEO API account and a valid API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node makes HTTP POST requests to the DataForSEO API endpoint at
https://api.dataforseo.com/v3. - Proper network connectivity to the DataForSEO service is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Exceeding the limit of 1000 targets per request or having targets from more than 100 different domains will likely cause errors.
- Incorrectly formatted URLs (e.g., missing protocol for page URLs or including
https:///www.in domain targets) may result in validation errors. - Missing or invalid API credentials will prevent successful API calls.
Error messages:
"Something went wrong": Generic error indicating failure during execution; check input parameters and API credentials.- Credential-related errors: Ensure that the API key is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded errors from the API: Review your DataForSEO plan limits.
