- **Tool id:** `dataforseo-backlinks-domain-intersection-live-ai`
- **Provider:** [DataForSEO](/providers/dataforseo)
- **Job:** [Live ai backlinks domain intersection](/reference/jobs/backlinks-domain-intersection-live-ai) (`backlinks.domain-intersection.live-ai`)
- **Price:** $0.024 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |

| `exclude_targets` | array | no | domains, subdomains or webpages you want to exclude optional field you can specify up to 10 domains, subdomains or webpages if you use this array, results will contain the referring domains that link to targets but don't link to exclude_targets example: ["bbc.com","https://www.apple.com/iphone/*","https://dataforseo.com/apis/*"] |
| `filters` | array | no | Array-based filter expression. A single condition is a 3-element array: [field, operator, value].

Operators: regex, not_regex, =, <>, in, not_in, like, not_like, ilike, not_ilike, match, not_match Use % with like/not_like to match any string of zero or more characters. Examples: Single: ["1.internal_links_count",">","1"] Combined: [["2.referring_pages",">","2"],"and",["1.backlinks",">","10"]] |
| `limit` | number | no | the maximum number of returned results |
| `offset` | number | no | offset in the array of returned results optional field default value: 0 if you specify the 10 value, the first ten backlinks in the results array will be omitted and the data will be provided for the successive backlinks |
| `order_by` | array | no | 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 order desc, results will be sorted in the descending order you should use a comma to set up a sorting type example: ["backlinks,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: ["backlinks,desc","rank,asc"] |
| `targets` | object | yes | object of numbered keys to domains/pages, e.g. \{"1": "nike.com", "2": "adidas.com"\} (DataForSEO intersection format); Object containing two target values to compare |

## Output

The run's `result` holds the provider's answer. Signed in, `looot inspect dataforseo-backlinks-domain-intersection-live-ai` prints its fields.

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.
