Domains linking to competitors but not you
/backlink-gapFinds domains that link to one or more competitor targets but NOT to the excluded target (you). The output is a ready-made link-building prospect list; chain it with an email-finder tool to turn rows into outreach. Response shape: each row's referring domain lives at items[].domain_intersection["1"], ["2"], ... keyed by the 1-based index of your `targets` array, with that referring domain's own authority score in `rank` (0-1000ish, higher is stronger; this is the referring domain's rank, a different metric from the target-domain rank in backlinks_summary). Default sort is rank descending. When ranking prospects, check referring_domains and backlinks together — a huge backlink count with few referring domains usually means sitewide boilerplate links, not authority.
Call it over REST
Authenticate with a bearer token against https://api.superagnt.com. Swap the placeholders for your key and parameter values.
curl -s -X POST "https://api.superagnt.com/backlink-gap" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AGNTDATA_API_KEY>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "targets": [] }'Copy-paste prompt
Paste this into a coding agent. It connects the superagnt MCP server, finds the tool data_seo_backlink_gap, and runs a first call — with the REST fallback if MCP is unavailable.
You are wiring up the superagnt "SEO" API to use this endpoint: Domains linking to competitors but not you.
1. CONNECT over MCP (preferred). No token to paste either way.
On Claude (claude.ai, the desktop app, or Claude Code signed in with a Claude
account), the server is a connector: give the user this link, they click Add
and approve:
https://claude.ai/customize/connectors/yours?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=superagnt&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.superagnt.com%2Fmcp&open_in_browser=1
Any other MCP client (or Claude Code signed in with an API key): add the server
and let the client run the browser sign-in:
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http superagnt https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp
claude mcp login superagnt
MCP endpoint: https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp
After connecting, the tool you want is named exactly:
data_seo_backlink_gap
Call agnt_tools_search or agnt_tools_list_enabled to confirm it is available.
2. REST fallback (if you are not using MCP):
POST https://api.superagnt.com/backlink-gap
Header: Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AGNTDATA_API_KEY>
Required parameters:
- targets (array, required) — Competitor domains whose backlink sources to intersect (1-20).
Optional parameters:
- exclude_targets (array, optional) — Domains the referring sites must NOT already link to. Put your own domain here.
- limit (integer, optional) — Max referring domains to return. Default 100.
- offset (integer, optional) — Pagination offset.
- filters (array, optional) — Optional filter expression, e.g. minimum domain rank.
- order_by (array, optional) — Sort rules, e.g. ["1.rank,desc"].
3. COST & KEY. This endpoint is metered — pricing varies by request, from $0.05 per call. Only successful calls are charged.

4. TEST. Connect the server (or set the key), discover the tool
(data_seo_backlink_gap), run one minimal call with just the required parameters,
and report back the shape of the JSON response (top-level fields).
