Referring domains for a target

01// about this endpoint

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.

Call it over REST

Authenticate with a bearer token against https://api.superagnt.com. Swap the placeholders for your key and parameter values.

curlbash
curl -s -X POST "https://api.superagnt.com/referring-domains" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AGNTDATA_API_KEY>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "target": "<string>" }'
03// give it to your agent

Copy-paste prompt

Paste this into a coding agent. It connects the superagnt MCP server, finds the tool data_seo_referring_domains, 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: Referring domains for a target.

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_referring_domains
   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/referring-domains
     Header: Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AGNTDATA_API_KEY>
   Required parameters:
    - target (string, required) — Domain, subdomain or full page URL to list referring domains for.
   Optional parameters:
    - limit (integer, optional) — Max referring domains to return. Default 100. Cost scales with rows.
    - offset (integer, optional) — Pagination offset.
    - exclude_internal_backlinks (boolean, optional) — Ignore links from the target to itself. Default true.
    - filters (array, optional) — Optional filter expression as [field, operator, value] triples. Operators: =, <>, <, <=, >, >=, in, not_in, like, not_like. Recipe: [["rank",">",100]] keeps stronger referring domains (rank is the referring domain's authority, higher is better).
    - order_by (array, optional) — Sort rules, e.g. ["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_referring_domains), run one minimal call with just the required parameters,
   and report back the shape of the JSON response (top-level fields).
