      Hello,

      We want to get "discovered and lost links" using api.
      You do not have discovered and lost metrics available via the Links API and 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!

        Hi there! Thanks for the question.

        You are correct - at this time the API does not offer a way to call information about Discovered and Lost Links. Link Explorer and the index that supports it, including the API connection, are pretty new and still in beta testing. However, this is a call the team would like to add in the future, so keep an eye out!

        Please let us know if you have any other questions, or any other features you are interested in seeing added. Thanks!
