}Sites sharing referring domains with one
Set this endpoint up in your agent →
target, ranked by how many they share. Each row gives target, rank and intersections - the count of shared linking domains. main_domain, exclude_large_domains and exclude_internal_backlinks shape what counts. Measured at 570 bytes, the smallest response in this family. Wrapped in DataForSEO’s envelope: data in tasks[0].result, outcome in tasks[0].status_code - a rejected request still returns HTTP 200. These are link-graph competitors, not search competitors; for the latter use post_dataforseo_labs_google_serp_competitors_live. To see the actual shared domains use post_dataforseo_backlinks_domain_intersection_live. Keep limit low and do not loop.

Usage-based billing; Default request estimate: $0.0276 USD (not a fixed price). Account-specific pricing and final settlement may differ. Published reference values are not an account-specific quote or a settled charge. For endpoints supporting X-AISA-Cost-Mode: quote, obtain a free quote for your exact request before execution; reconcile the settled cost with response metadata and Usage Logs. USD amounts use 1,000,000 integer micro-USD per dollar.- Default request reference estimate (USD): 0.0276
- Cost contract: response_usd
- Published reference multiplier: 1.0

Body
application/json
indicates if internal backlinks from subdomains to the target will be excluded from the results
optional field
if set to true, the results will not include data on internal backlinks from subdomains of the same domain as target
if set to false, internal links will be included in the results
default value: true
indicates whether large domain will appear in results
optional field
if set to true, the results from the large domain (google.com, amazon.com, etc.) will be omitted;
default value: true
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:["rank",">","100"]
[["target","like","%forbes%"],"and",[["rank",">","100"],"or",["intersections",">","5"]]]
The full list of possible filters is available here.
JSON representation of filter values and nested expressions. Field names, operators, condition counts and operand compatibility remain provider-validated as documented for each endpoint; this is not a complete filter-language validator.
the maximum number of returned domains
optional field
default value: 100
maximum value: 1000
indicates if only main domain of the target will be included in the search
optional field
if set to true, only the main domain will be included in search;
default value: true
offset in the results array of returned domains
optional field
default value: 0
if you specify the 10 value, the first ten domains in the results array will be omitted and the data will be provided for the successive pages
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 orderdesc - results will be sorted in the descending order
you should use a comma to set up a sorting type
example:["rank,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:["intersections,desc","rank,asc"]
defines the scale used for calculating and displaying the rank, domain_from_rank, and page_from_rank values
optional field
you can use this parameter to choose whether rank values are presented on a 0–100 or 0–1000 scale
possible values:one_hundred — rank values are displayed on a 0–100 scaleone_thousand — rank values are displayed on a 0–1000 scale
default value: one_thousand
learn more about how this parameter works and how ranking metrics are calculated in this Help Center article
user-defined task identifier
optional field
the character limit is 255
you can use this parameter to identify the task and match it with the result
you will find the specified tag value in the data object of the response
domain, subdomain or webpage to get competitor domains 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://)
