Pulls your overall backlink profile stats\n2. Checks for new backlinks from the last month\n3. Identifies which backlinks you lost recently\n4. Lists your top referring domains by authority\n5. Analyzes the anchor text people use to link to you\n6. Gets your domain authority and trust scores\n7. Shows daily gains and losses over 30 days\n8. Grabs historical data to see growth over 60 days\n9. Organizes everything into clear sections in a spreadsheet\n\n## Requirements\n- Self-hosted n8n instance\n- SE Ranking community node installed\n- SE Ranking API token ([Get one here](https://online.seranking.com/admin.api.dashboard.html))\n- Google Sheets account (optional)\n\n## Setup\n1. Install the [SE Ranking community node](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@seranking/n8n-nodes-seranking)\n2. Add your SE Ranking API credentials\n3. Replace `example.com` with your domain in all SE Ranking nodes\n4. Connect Google Sheets if you want to export data (optional)\n\n## Customization\n- Change the time periods (currently 30 or 60 days) by editing `dateFrom` and `dateTo`\n- Get more or fewer results by adjusting the `limit` settings\n- Sort by different metrics by changing `order_by` (like first_seen or backlinks)\n- Add a Schedule Trigger to run this automatically every week"
