Implementation Reference

• src/core/modules/backlinks/tools/backlinks-referring-domains.tool.ts:72-85 (handler)

  The main handler function that executes the tool logic by making a POST request to the DataForSEO Backlinks API '/v3/backlinks/referring_domains/live' endpoint with the provided parameters, formats filters and order_by, and handles response or errors.

  async handle(params: any): Promise<any> {
    try {
      const response = await this.client.makeRequest('/v3/backlinks/referring_domains/live', 'POST', [{
        target: params.target,
        limit: params.limit,
        offset: params.offset,
        filters: this.formatFilters(params.filters),
        order_by: this.formatOrderBy(params.order_by),
      }]);
      return this.validateAndFormatResponse(response);
    } catch (error) {
      return this.formatErrorResponse(error);
    }
  }

• src/core/modules/backlinks/tools/backlinks-referring-domains.tool.ts:18-70 (schema)

  Defines the Zod schema for input parameters: target (required string), limit, offset, filters (complex array), order_by.

    getParams(): z.ZodRawShape {
      return {
        target: z.string().describe(`domain, subdomain or webpage to get backlinks for
          required field
  a domain or a subdomain should be specified without https:// and www.
  a page should be specified with absolute URL (including http:// or https://)`),
        limit: z.number().min(1).max(1000).default(10).optional().describe("the maximum number of returned pages"),
        offset: z.number().min(0).optional().describe(
          `offset in the results array of returned pages
  optional field
  default value: 0
  if you specify the 10 value, the first ten pages in the results array will be omitted and the data will be provided for the successive pages`
        ),
        filters: z.array(
          z.union([
            z.array(z.union([z.string(), z.number(), z.boolean()])).length(3),
            z.enum(["and", "or"])
          ])
        ).max(8).optional().describe(
          `array of results filtering parameters
  optional field
  you can add several filters at once (8 filters maximum)
  you should set a logical operator and, or between the conditions
  the following operators are supported:
  regex, not_regex, =, <>, in, not_in, like, not_like, ilike, not_ilike, match, not_match
  you can use the % operator with like and not_like to match any string of zero or more characters
  example:
  ["meta.internal_links_count",">","1"]
  [["meta.external_links_count",">","2"],
  "and",
  ["backlinks",">","10"]]
  
  [["first_visited",">","2017-10-23 11:31:45 +00:00"],
  "and",
  [["title","like","%seo%"],"or",["referring_domains",">","10"]]]`
        ),
        order_by: z.array(z.string()).optional().describe(
          `results sorting rules
  optional field
  you can use the same values as in the filters array to sort the results
  possible sorting types:
  asc – results will be sorted in the ascending order
  desc – results will be sorted in the descending order
  you should use a comma to set up a sorting type
  example:
  ["page_summary.backlinks,desc"]
  note that you can set no more than three sorting rules in a single request
  you should use a comma to separate several sorting rules
  example:
  ["page_summary.backlinks,desc","page_summary.rank,asc"]`
        ),
      };
    }

• src/core/modules/backlinks/backlinks-api.module.ts:54-61 (registration)

  Registers the tool in the BacklinksApiModule's getTools() method by including its instance in the tools array and reducing to a map with name, description, params, and handler wrapper.

  return tools.reduce((acc, tool) => ({
    ...acc,
    [tool.getName()]: {
      description: tool.getDescription(),
      params: tool.getParams(),
      handler: (params: any) => tool.handle(params),
    },
  }), {});

• src/core/modules/backlinks/backlinks-api.module.ts:44-44 (registration)

  Instantiates the BacklinksReferringDomainsTool with the DataForSEO client for registration in the module.

  new BacklinksReferringDomainsTool(this.dataForSEOClient),

• src/core/modules/backlinks/tools/backlinks-filters.tool.ts:22-33 (helper)

  Maps the tool name to its corresponding filter path 'referring_domains' for use in the filters tool.

  private static readonly TOOL_TO_FILTER_MAP: { [key: string]: string } = {
