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!

yes, thank you:)

Hello,

Currently you do not have discovered and lost metrics available via the Links API, maybe there are some workaround to get this metrics? For us, it is very important to use API,  or calculate it some mathematics way.

Thank!

Hello,

Could you tell me, can I use the api to get such data as ‘Discovered in the last 60 days’ and ‘Lost Links’?
If yes, which values of ‘Cols’ in URL Metrics I can use?

Thank!
