Keywords Everywhere API

Interact with Keyword Engine API

Overview

This node integrates with the Keywords Everywhere API to retrieve backlink data related to domains or pages. Specifically, the "Get Unique Domain Backlinks" operation fetches a list of unique backlinks pointing to a specified domain. This is useful for SEO professionals and digital marketers who want to analyze the backlink profile of a website to understand its authority, discover link-building opportunities, or monitor competitors.

Practical examples include:

  • Retrieving the top unique backlinks for your own domain to evaluate link quality.
  • Analyzing competitor domains to identify potential backlink sources.
  • Monitoring changes in backlink profiles over time for SEO performance tracking.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain The domain name to retrieve backlinks for (e.g., example.com).
Number of Backlinks Maximum number of unique backlinks to retrieve for the specified domain (e.g., 5).

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects, each containing:

  • status: A string indicating the request status, typically "success" if the API call was successful.
  • data: The actual backlink data returned by the Keywords Everywhere API for the requested domain. This includes details about each unique backlink such as source URL, anchor text, and other backlink metrics as provided by the API.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Keywords Everywhere API via an API key credential.
  • The node expects the API base URL and authentication token to be configured in the n8n credentials for the Keywords Everywhere API.
  • Internet access is necessary for the HTTP requests to the external API endpoint.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials: If no API credentials are provided or they are invalid, the node will throw an error stating "No credentials got returned!". Ensure that a valid API key credential is configured in n8n.
  • API Request Failures: Network issues or incorrect domain input may cause the API request to fail or return empty results. Verify domain names are correctly formatted and that the API service is reachable.
  • Rate Limits: The Keywords Everywhere API may enforce rate limits; exceeding these can result in errors or incomplete data. Monitor usage and consider upgrading your API plan if needed.
