backlinks_timeseries_summary
Analyze backlink trends for any domain over time by grouping data into daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly intervals to track link-building progress and visualize performance patterns.
Instructions
This endpoint will provide you with an overview of backlink data for the target domain available during a period between the two indicated dates. Backlink metrics will be grouped by the time range that you define: day, week, month, or year. Data from this endpoint will be especially helpful for building time-series graphs of daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly link-building progress

Implementation Reference
- The handle method executes the tool logic: makes a POST request to DataForSEO /v3/backlinks/timeseries_summary/live endpoint with provided parameters and handles response/error.
async handle(params: any): Promise<any> { try { const response = await this.client.makeRequest('/v3/backlinks/timeseries_summary/live', 'POST', [{ target: params.target, date_from: params.date_from, date_to: params.date_to, group_range: params.group_range }]); return this.validateAndFormatResponse(response); } catch (error) { return this.formatErrorResponse(error); } } - Defines Zod schema for input parameters: target (required domain), date_from/date_to (optional dates), group_range (optional, default 'month').
