(Old version) Summary report

Support for the getSummary method has been discontinued, the procedure will be disabled on 09/23/2022. Please use the getSummaryV2 method instead.

The SerpstatBacklinksProcedure.getSummary method gives you general information about link profile: number of external links, referring IP addresses and subnets, number of referring domains and subdomains, domain authority indicator and types of referring links. The data set is similar to the Overview report.

2) Determine which sites are linking to your competitors to identify potential link opportunities for your client.
