Backlinks Timeseries Summary

Call Frevana's /service/backlinks/timeseries-summary endpoint and return the Backlinks API response unchanged.

Purpose

This skill is for backlink, referring-domain, or authority metrics grouped over time for one target and date range.

Required input:

• target

Output:

• validated response JSON from Frevana/Backlinks provider

This skill validates that the response is JSON and returns it unchanged. Do not rewrite or reshape the returned data unless the user explicitly asks for a transformation.

What This Skill Needs

• FREVANA_TOKEN in the environment variables, or an explicit --token override for the current run
• curl
• bash
• python3

Execution Order

1. Confirm the user has provided the required input.
2. Prefer the bundled script over ad hoc curl commands.
3. Let the script read FREVANA_TOKEN first.
4. In interactive shell usage, if FREVANA_TOKEN is missing, the script may prompt for it.
5. In non-interactive or agent workflows, fail fast if the token is missing and tell the user to set FREVANA_TOKEN or pass --token explicitly.
6. Return the validated response JSON, or summarize it only if the user asks for a summary.
7. The script saves the JSON response to ./out/ by default.

Command

bash <skill-path>/scripts/get_backlinks_timeseries_summary.sh --target frevana.com --date-from 2026-06-01 --date-to 2026-07-01

Save response JSON to a specific file

bash <skill-path>/scripts/get_backlinks_timeseries_summary.sh --target frevana.com --date-from 2026-06-01 --date-to 2026-07-01 \
  --output ./out/backlinks-timeseries-summary-result.json

Request Shape

Frevana endpoint:

POST /service/backlinks/timeseries-summary

Supported request fields for this API:

target, datefrom, dateto, grouprange, includesubdomains, rank_scale, tag

The script only sends fields supported by this API. Do not pass unsupported fields. Do not pass API keys, output paths, or request metadata in the payload; Frevana handles server-side details.

Response Shape

The API returns JSON. This skill validates the response as JSON and returns it unchanged.

Output

• Success: the script validates that the response body is JSON and prints it to stdout
• Default file path: ./out/backlinks-timeseries-summary-<UTC timestamp>-<pid>.json
• With --output: the same JSON is written to the specified file path instead
• Failure: the script prints the response body or parsing error and exits non-zero

Notes

• Do not echo the Bearer token back to the user
• Use --filters-json, --backlinks-filters-json, --custom-mode-json, --targets-json, or --exclude-targets-json for structured values
• --targets, --exclude-targets, and --order-by accept comma-separated values
• Boolean options accept true, false, 1, 0, yes, no, on, or off
