The Competition Check endpoint returns key SEO metrics for a specified domain, including total backlinks, referring domains, authority scores, inlink rank, and counts of .edu and .gov links. This data helps assess the domain's strength and relevance for a given keyword.
The response data includes fields such as total_backlinks, referring_domains, edu_links, gov_links, authority_score, inlink_rank, and contextual_relevance, providing a comprehensive overview of the domain's SEO performance.
The response data is structured in a JSON format, with each key representing a specific metric. For example, you might see fields like "total_backlinks" and "authority_score" clearly labeled, making it easy to parse and analyze.
The Competition Check endpoint accepts parameters such as the domain name and the keyword for analysis. Users can customize their requests by specifying these parameters to receive tailored SEO metrics relevant to their needs.
Typical use cases include evaluating a competitor's SEO strength, identifying backlink opportunities, and assessing the relevance of a domain for specific keywords, which can inform strategic marketing decisions.
The data is sourced from various SEO tools and databases that aggregate backlink profiles, domain authority metrics, and contextual relevance indicators. This ensures a comprehensive view of the domain's SEO standing.
Users can analyze the returned metrics to identify strengths and weaknesses in their SEO strategy. For example, high authority scores and a strong backlink profile indicate a competitive domain, while low metrics may suggest areas for improvement.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates and quality checks, ensuring that the metrics reflect the current state of the domain's SEO performance and backlink profile.
Users can expect to see a range of backlink counts, authority scores, and inlink ranks that vary widely based on the domain's SEO strength. Patterns may indicate strong or weak keyword relevance based on contextual metrics.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
