        Hello there,

        What you are needing is Link Explorer. For further information you could read the Guide to Moz´s Link Explorer - Help Hub.

        Related to the domain and the page, i've done the search in that tool and this is what I found:
        cachetladies.com -> https://imgur.com/a/YQ2M6N0
        cachetladies.com/toronto-escorts -> https://imgur.com/a/7nKtRtE
        In the last one, there might be no information because some of these reasons:

        • It is too new and RogerBot couldn't crawl it and its backlinks
        • There are no  backlinks
        • RogerBot didn't crawl the sites where backlinks to that page are.

        Keep in mind that these reports only reflect what moz's bot crawled that could possibly differ on those links discovered by Google.

        Hope it helps.
        Best luck.
        GR

          Gaston, I am getting backlinks data properly now. But I want to show counts of

          1. Total Backlinks

          2. Total Referring Domains

          3. Total Follow Links

          4. Total No Follow links

          I am using https://moz.com/help/links-api/making-calls/url-metrics to get this count. But not clear which metric I have to use for these counts. As all metric description looking like same.

          Also I need page rank, link last seen, link first seen, external and internal links for every backlink we detected.

          And I want everything using API. Please respond for all questions. Thanks.

            Hey, Dave here from the Help Team.

            All URL metrics can be found here: https://moz.com/help/links-api/making-calls/url-metrics

            There seems like a lot of variations but that is because you can call data on a root domain, subdomain and page level, so there are varying factors to that need to be determined before we can answer the above questions.

            Do you want total backlinks to a specific page?  root domain?

            The description column of that page is pretty good at specifying what each bit flag is calling, feel free to reach out to help@moz.com if you are stuck on something.

            thanks!

              Hey Dave,

              I know all metrics mentioned on url-metrics API. But I already read it many times. Description don't have mentioned what I need. There may be possibility that this API don't have what I need. If yes than you can suggest me other way to get all data mentioned in my question.

              Do you want total backlinks to a specific page?  root domain? : We want all count page specific.

              1. Total Backlinks   2. Total Referring Domains  3. Total Follow Links    4. Total No Follow links

              Thanks.
