Use backlink-anchor-text-dataforseo to review link text for one domain or subdomain. Accept a clear website address, full URL, or domain name. When the user gives a URL, parse it with a URL parser and pass its hostname as the domain: remove the scheme, path, query and fragment, and remove only a leading www. prefix; preserve other subdomains. This Tool checks the resulting website domain, not an individual page. If the address is missing or ambiguous, ask in ordinary language for the website link; do not ask the user to rewrite it as a bare domain. Supply one domain string of 3–253 characters. Reuse the existing Toolmu connection, authorization and budget; if connection is needed, follow https://toolmu.com/SKILL.md. Organize available anchor groups with their original text, backlink/page/domain/main-domain counts, supplier model scores and recorded discovery/loss dates. Keep count units, null values, whitespace and original map keys intact. Explain rank on the supplier’s default 0–1000 scale and average spam score on its 0–100% model scale. Nofollow counts mean at least one such link and overlap totals; maps can overlap or be limited. Do not infer image links from null text, invent brand/exact-match classifications, force additive totals or derive complete-profile percentages. Fixed maximum20 is not a guaranteed top20 selection, and observations do not establish a current crawl. Do not turn model scores into Google ranks, penalty probabilities or link-removal recommendations.

Task:
Find up to 20 phrases other sites used to link to [website link]. When available, show how many links and websites used each. This covers the whole website and may miss links. Scores are estimates, not the site’s place in Google search results.

Analyze backlink anchor text for a domain

You receive

See the anchor text used in backlinks to your chosen domain, grouped with available link counts and information about their sources. Records can include referring pages, domains and main domains, discovery or loss observations, and DataForSEO link-rank and average spam-model scores. Your Agent can organize the groups into a comparison table, keeping original wording, null values and count units intact. Available source breakdowns describe link types, attributes, platform labels, HTML locations, domain suffixes and reported country codes.

Start with your task

Find up to 20 phrases other sites used to link to [website link]. When available, show how many links and websites used each. This covers the whole website and may miss links. Scores are estimates, not the site’s place in Google search results.

What to know

The maximum is 20 groups, not a complete backlink profile or a documented top-20 selection. Limited and overlapping breakdowns cannot establish full-profile anchor percentages. Supplier scores are not search positions or penalty verdicts. Observations reflect database checks rather than a guaranteed current crawl.

Result schema

No fixed output contract is available. Field types reflect saved result evidence; individual responses can differ.

Result schema
Field / Path	Type	Meaning
Anchor-text report`anchors`	`object`	Result containing the requested target, delivered group count, supplier database group total and available per-anchor aggregates.
Requested target`anchors.target`	`string`	Target echoed in the report. It identifies the domain request, rather than a list of referring page URLs.
Returned anchor groups`anchors.items_count`	`number`	Number of anchor-group records delivered in this response, bounded by the fixed maximum of 20.
Database anchor-group total`anchors.total_count`	`number`	Relevant anchor-group count in the supplier’s database. It is separate from delivered groups and backlink counts, and does not establish complete web coverage.
Anchor-text groups`anchors.items`	`array`	Up to 20 groups with original anchor text, available counts, model scores, observation dates and source breakdowns. The default selection order is not documented; this is not a guaranteed top-20 list.
Original anchor text`anchors.items[].anchor`	`string \| null`	Anchor string reported for the group. Preserve spelling, case and whitespace. Null means text was not supplied for that group; it does not identify an image link or an empty string.
Backlinks with this anchor`anchors.items[].backlinks`	`number`	Backlink count reported for this anchor group. Multiple links can come from the same source page or domain.
Referring pages`anchors.items[].referring_pages`	`number`	Source pages reported as pointing to the target with this anchor. This page count is distinct from the number of links.
Referring domains`anchors.items[].referring_domains`	`number`	Supplier count of source domains for the anchor group; not a count of independent companies or visitors.
Referring main domains`anchors.items[].referring_main_domains`	`number`	Source main-domain count reported separately from referring domains. Keep the original unit; it does not establish shared ownership.
Pages with nofollow links`anchors.items[].referring_pages_nofollow`	`number`	Source pages with at least one nofollow link using this anchor. They overlap the total referring-page count.
Domains with nofollow links`anchors.items[].referring_domains_nofollow`	`number`	Source domains with at least one nofollow link. This overlaps total domains and is not the complement of domains with other link attributes.
Main domains with nofollow links`anchors.items[].referring_main_domains_nofollow`	`number`	Source main domains with at least one nofollow link. This is part of an overlapping count, not an exclusive domain category.
Referring IP addresses`anchors.items[].referring_ips`	`number`	Reported number of referring IP addresses. It is not a count of people or independent organizations.
Referring subnets`anchors.items[].referring_subnets`	`number`	Reported number of referring subnets, preserving its network unit rather than interpreting it as owners or users.
DataForSEO link rank`anchors.items[].rank`	`number`	Supplier estimate of rank passed to the target through links using this anchor, on the default 0–1000 scale. It is not a search position, current Google PageRank or verified quality score.
Average backlink spam score`anchors.items[].backlinks_spam_score`	`number`	Supplier’s average proprietary spam score for backlinks with this anchor, on a 0–100% scale. It is a model score, not the measured share of harmful links or a penalty probability.
Reported broken backlinks`anchors.items[].broken_backlinks`	`number`	Broken backlinks pointing to the target as reported by the supplier, rather than a current verification of every link.
Reported broken destination pages`anchors.items[].broken_pages`	`number`	Destination pages reported with 4xx or 5xx statuses. This is not the number of referring source pages.
First crawler discovery`anchors.items[].first_seen`	`string`	UTC time when the supplier crawler first found a backlink with this anchor, not the link’s creation date or this request’s completion time.
Last-link loss observation`anchors.items[].lost_date`	`null`	Supplier time when the last backlink with this anchor was reported lost. Null remains unknown and does not prove the group is currently live or never lost links.
Links by source TLD label`anchors.items[].referring_links_tld`	`object`	Supplier TLD-label-to-link-count map. Preserve original and compound keys. The documented default internal list cap is 10 entries for this map; it is a limited breakdown.
Links by link type`anchors.items[].referring_links_types`	`object`	Reported link-type-to-count map. Its documented default internal list cap is 10 entries; a null anchor alone does not select a link type.
Links by relationship attribute`anchors.items[].referring_links_attributes`	`object \| null`	HTML relationship-attribute-to-link-count map. A link can have several attributes, so counts can overlap. The documented default internal list cap is 10 entries.
Links by supplier platform label`anchors.items[].referring_links_platform_types`	`object`	Supplier platform-label-to-link-count map, not independently verified business types. Categories can overlap; the documented default internal list cap is 10 entries.
Links by HTML location`anchors.items[].referring_links_semantic_locations`	`object`	HTML element or location-label-to-link-count map, not a measure of semantic relevance. Preserve blank labels; its documented default internal list cap is 10 entries.
Links by source country code`anchors.items[].referring_links_countries`	`object`	Reported referring-domain country-code-to-link-count map, not visitor geography. Keep blank and WW keys as returned without assigning a country. No universal ten-entry cap is established for this map.

No. It means the source did not supply anchor text for that group. Keep null distinct from an empty string and from actual text. Preserve case, spacing and multilingual text as returned; do not infer an image-link type or automatically label the group as branded or exact-match.
