Overview
This node integrates with the Keywords Everywhere API to retrieve backlink data related to web pages or domains. Specifically, for the "Backlink Data" resource and the "Get Unique Page Backlinks" operation, it fetches a list of unique backlinks pointing to a specified page URL. This is useful for SEO professionals and digital marketers who want to analyze the backlink profile of a particular webpage to understand its link-building status, identify referring domains, or monitor link quality.
Practical examples include:
- Auditing backlinks to a landing page before launching a marketing campaign.
- Monitoring new backlinks gained by a blog post over time.
- Comparing backlink profiles between competitor pages.

Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Keywords Everywhere API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node uses HTTP requests authenticated with this API key to fetch backlink data.
- No additional external dependencies are needed beyond the configured API access.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Credentials Error: If no credentials are provided or the API key is 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 invalid parameters (such as malformed URLs) may cause the API request to fail. Verify the correctness of the "Page URL" property and network connectivity.
- Empty or Partial Data: If the number of backlinks requested exceeds what the API can provide, fewer results may be returned. Adjust the "Number of Backlinks" property accordingly.
- Rate Limiting: The Keywords Everywhere API may enforce rate limits. If you encounter errors related to too many requests, consider adding delays or reducing request frequency.
