API et MCP
Posez à 12backlinks ses deux questions depuis vos agents IA (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) ou vos scripts. Combien de domaines référents faut-il pour viser la page 1 sur ce mot-clé, dans ce marché ? La réponse donne la médiane et la fourchette du top 10, les compare aux positions 11 à 30 et dit si l'écart est significatif. Quels liens ont mes concurrents que je n'ai pas ? L'export croise les domaines référents de votre site et de vos concurrents, les plus forts d'abord.
1. Clés API
Une clé sert à la fois pour l'API REST et pour le serveur MCP. Elle est affichée une seule fois à sa création ; vous pouvez la révoquer à tout moment.

Serveur MCP en Streamable HTTP, à l'adresse :
https://12backlinks.com/api/mcpDans un terminal :
claude mcp add --transport http 12backlinks https://12backlinks.com/api/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer VOTRE_CLE_API"
Remplacez VOTRE_CLE_API par votre clé. Gardez ces fichiers privés, hors de Git.
Exemple de demande à votre agent :
« Consulte mon solde 12backlinks. Après mon accord, dis-moi combien de domaines référents viser pour “chaussures running” sur google.fr, et si les liens départagent vraiment cette SERP. »
3. Référence REST
Authentification : Authorization: Bearer VOTRE_CLE_API. Les mêmes opérations sont exposées comme outils MCP. Les erreurs ont la forme { error: { code, message } } avec un vrai statut HTTP. Une valeur inconnue vaut null, jamais 0. Schéma complet : /api/openapi.json.
/api/v1/marketsoutil MCP list_markets · gratuitList the supported markets: each one is an exact pair of Google domain and language (e.g. google.fr + fr). Any other pair is refused with invalid_market. Free.
/api/v1/accountoutil MCP get_account · gratuitRead the account email and credits_available (expired credits excluded). Credits pay for analyze_keywords (1 credit per unique keyword) and launch_link_gap (at most the max_credits of quote_link_gap, unused credits refunded). Free.
/api/v1/batchesoutil MCP analyze_keywords · 1 crédit par mot-cléMeasure how many referring domains the pages ranking on Google page 1 have, for each keyword in a market: median and q25 to q75 range of the top 10, compared with positions 11 to 30, with a significance test. PAID: 1 credit per unique keyword, charged at launch, including cached results; a failed analysis is not refunded. Check get_account first and tell the user the cost. Call it sequentially (one launch at a time per account; a concurrent launch gets 429 launch_in_progress, retry after a few seconds); get_batch can run in parallel. Returns the batch: HTTP 201 (MCP http_status 201) = new batch, charged; 200 = idempotent replay of the existing batch, nothing charged. If status is still running, call get_batch with wait=40.

/api/v1/link-gaps/quoteoutil MCP quote_link_gap · gratuitQuote a competitor link export: which referring domains (sites linking) your competitors have and your site does not. Free, nothing is launched. Three entries: analysis_id (competitors taken from an analysis of one of your batches), batch_id (competitors taken from all the done analyses of one of your batches, each site once) or an explicit list of competitors; without analysis_id or batch_id the quote calls the backlink provider and counts towards 30 paid calls per hour per account (counts already cached are free). Returns max_credits, the most the export can cost: per site, 1 credit up to 100 referring domains, then 2 credits per started block of 1,000, counted on min(depth, referring domains spam included); your site is always taken entirely; velocity adds 1 credit per site. The export is charged on the non spam domains actually delivered and the rest is refunded. Show max_credits to the user and get their approval before launch_link_gap.
| Paramètre | Où | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
target (requis) | body | string | Your site: a domain (example.com) or a URL. It is always fetched entirely. A URL other than the home page also measures that page when velocity is true. |

batch_id | body | string | Batch entry: the batch_id of one of your batches (see list_batches). The competitors to choose from are the ranking sites of all its done analyses, merged by root domain: a site ranking on several keywords is fetched and charged once. The batch must be finished (get_batch with wait=40 until it is done). Not with analysis_id. |
competitors | body | string | object[] | Domains or URLs, reduced to their root domain; or objects {domain, depth} to set a depth per site. Required without analysis_id or batch_id (1 to 20 competitors after removing duplicates and your own site). With analysis_id: optional, only sites of that analysis; when absent, the top 10 sites selected like on the website (with referring domains, at most 20,000 each). With batch_id: optional, only sites of its done analyses (30 at most); when absent, selected like on the website: up to 10 sites in the top 10 of at least 2 keywords, completed with the next top 10 sites when fewer than 3 (same filters). |
depth | body | 100 | 1000 | "all" | Referring domains fetched per competitor, strongest first: 100, 1000 or "all". Default 1000. |
velocity | body | boolean | Also fetch the referring domains gained and lost per month over 24 months for each site (spam included): +1 credit per site, refunded when unavailable. Default false. |
/api/v1/link-gapsoutil MCP launch_link_gap · crédits plafonnés par le devisLaunch a competitor link export. PAID: max_credits (from quote_link_gap, approved by the user) is reserved at launch; when the export finishes, it is charged on the non spam referring domains delivered and the rest is refunded (credits_charged, credits_refunded). Call it sequentially: one launch at a time per account, shared with analyze_keywords (a concurrent launch gets 429 launch_in_progress, retry after a few seconds). Returns the export like get_link_gap: HTTP 201 (MCP http_status 201) = new export, credits reserved; 200 = idempotent replay of the existing export, nothing charged. While running is true, call get_link_gap with wait=40.
