API for discovered and lost linking domains

[OlegKireyenka]

Hello,

Currently you do not have discovered and lost metrics available via the Links API, maybe there are some workaround to get this metrics? For us, it is very important to use API,  or calculate it some mathematics way.

Thank!

yes, thank you:)

but if we call api for backlinks and then cross reference this with the links found the last time, we are able to get only NET links, but we want to get "just discovered and lost links" separately. 
for example: inbound links for 27 July is 600, inbound links for 30 July is 750, okay, NET links from 27 July to 30 July = 750-600=150.

And in this case "discovered and lost links" maybe: 400 and -250, 300 and -150, 150 and 0, and etc. Maybe I can not understand something, give example please.

Thank you!

Hi there,

Jo here from the Moz help team.

The best way to get this data would be to set up your app to call our API for backlinks, and then cross reference this with the links found the last time your made your call to identify lost and discovered links.

Your programer should be able to let you know more about how to do this.

​If there is anything else I can help you with please do let me know.

Cheers!
Jo
