Response format
JSON
Protocol
REST
Description
Lists the domains linking to a target, each with rank, backlink count, first/last seen dates and spam score. This is the outreach-prospecting call: the sites already linking to a competitor are the sites most likely to link to you. Cost scales with rows; default 100 is right for most pulls.
