Bulk New & Lost Backlinks
New and lost backlink counts for many targets since date_from - one row of target, new_backlinks and lost_backlinks. Use it to spot which sites in a list are gaining or bleeding links. For one target broken into periods use post_dataforseo_backlinks_timeseries_new_lost_live; for referring domains rather than links, post_dataforseo_backlinks_bulk_new_lost_ref_domains_live. This one takes no limit parameter, so the only lever is calling it less often.
