GetLinkedDomains

Deprecated - Scheduled for removal - Replaced by GetRefDomains

Status

Command status: DEPRECATED
Supported by OpenApps API: DEPRECATED
Supported by Internal/Reseller API: Yes
Possibly queued processing: No

Purpose

This command operates on domain level, and returns information about the relationships between domains (root domains pointing to a root domain - it does not resolve the URLs or subdomains of the backlinks). It can be used to achieve the following:

  1. Get list of root domains with backlink counts pointing to a given root domain
  2. Find root domains which point to all, or a subset of specified root domains.

It is recommended that any results to this call are cached and that calls to this command are minimised. A single call should made to this command to retrieve all data necessary and it should then be cached locally to serve subsequent user queries (if any) from that local cache.

Resources consumed

Resource Description

AnalysisResUnits

Reduced by number of linked domains that will actually be considered for return controlled by AnalysisDepth parameter.

Subject to minimum cost per call as returned by GetSubscriptionInfo command (see returned value named MinGetLinkedDomainsAnalysisResUnitsCost).

Use GetIndexItemInfo to query number of referring domains pointing to a root domain to know how referring domains are present.

RetrievalResUnits

Reduced by number of referring domains actually returned.

Parameters

Parameter Description

cmd

Required: must be set to: GetLinkedDomains

datasource

Optional - defaults to historic
Either: "fresh" - to query against Fresh Index, or "historic" - to query against Historic Index.

Domains

One or more comma delimited root domains for which linking in root domains with backlink counts will be returned. If more than one root domain is provided then cross match matrix will be returned showing domains as they were matched for each of the supplied root domains. Sorting of data is done by number of matches first, then by the lowest Alexa Rank (highest traffic position), and finally by backlink counts.

Maximum number of domains queries at any time should not exceed 10.

If provided value is not a root domain (ie: www.majestic.com rather than majestic.com) then root domain will be extracted from that string and data will be returned for that root domain only.

Count

Number of results to be returned back.

Default: 100

AnalysisDepth

Maximum number of referring domains to be used for each of the root domains queried in case they have more. If number of referring domains exceeds this value then top domains will be used. Sorting criteria in this case is subject to change but current is AlexaRank in ascending order thus giving preference to domains with more traffic.

Default: 1000 Maximum: 100000

MinMatchesRequired

Minimum number of matches required - useful to limit the list of cross matched domains to only those that have at least 2 or more matches.

Default: 1

OrderBy1

Integer value that controls how results will be ordered (sorted):

  1. sorted by number of matches
  2. AlexaRank (lowest number means higher traffic)
  3. number of referring root domains linking to a root domain.
  4. number of external backlinks linking to a root domain.
  5. number of URLs from root domain added to our index, includes both crawled and uncrawled URLs.
  6. number of URLs from root domain that were crawled by our crawlers.
  7. The date when this root domain was first crawled: this can be treated as "domain age" with earliest date being Jun 2006 - any domain close to this date may have existed before
  8. The date when we last successfully crawled any URL on this root domain
  9. IP address of the domain.
  10. C-class subnet of the IP address of the domain
  11. Country code of the domain where it is hosted based on geo-location of its IP address
  12. Number of matched links (useful when querying data for multiple domains)

This parameter can be combined with secondary sorting.

OrderDir1

Direction of sorting: 1 for descending, 0 - ascending.

OrderBy2

Secondary sorting parameter - input values are the same OrderBy1.

OrderDir2

Direction of sorting for secondary sorting parameter.
