Understand a domain's link power

Backlinks still shape how AI and search decide who to trust. This API turns any domain into a clean backlink summary.

Authority at a glance

Domain rank (0–1000) and referring-domain counts tell you how much link authority a site has earned.

Spam and health

A spam score plus broken-backlink and broken-page counts flag toxic or decaying link profiles.

Composition

See the makeup of a profile by link type and referring country, not just the raw totals.

Any target

Analyze your domain or a competitor's — pass a domain, subdomain, or full URL.

SDKs and tools

One API. Every way to build.

Start with Node.js over REST, or hand the query to an agent. The same visibility contract sits underneath.

01

REST API

API docs

One predictable contract for visibility checks, normalized results, and organization-scoped access.

02

visibility.js
const response = await fetch(
  "https://api.trackee.dev/v1/track",
  {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "x-access-key": process.env.TRACKEE_ACCESS_KEY,
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      brand: "Acme",
      prompt: "best project management software",
      engines: ["chatgpt", "claude", "google"],
    }),
  },

Frequently asked questions

What is the rank field?

A 0–1000 domain-authority score based on the strength of the domain's backlink profile — higher is stronger.

Can I analyze competitors?

Yes. Pass any domain, subdomain, or URL as the target to profile a competitor's backlinks.

Does it include individual links?

This endpoint returns the summary (counts, rank, breakdowns). Individual-link detail is a natural next step on the roadmap.
