visibility
PUT /v1/visibility/targets/{targetId}/links
Set the individual links to watch pointing at this domain.
Authentication
Send an API key as a bearer token. This endpoint does not state a specific permission in the specification, so give your key the least it needs and check the response rather than assuming.
This endpoint takes no organisation id. Your key already identifies the organisation it belongs to, and the response is scoped to it.
Try it
Replace anything in angle brackets with your own values, and the key placeholder with a key from your dashboard.
curl -X PUT https://api.zinndigital.com/v1/visibility/targets/{targetId}/links \
-H "Authorization: Bearer zdk_live_…" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ }'Signed in? The API console in your dashboard fills in your real organisation id and your own key, and runs the request against the live API so you can see the actual response. Open this endpoint in the API console
Details
Replaces the watched-link list wholesale. Needs Backlink Monitoring. A non-empty list enrols the domain in link_watch and makes it due at once, so the first reading lands within the hour; an empty list takes it back out. A target_url must be on this domain. Taking the organisation past its links allowance is refused with 422, never truncated. Checks cost nothing — our own fetcher opens each page.

prompts | string[] | No | The customer's own questions for the AI answer engines. Empty means the default questions built from category and market. Bounded by the prompts allowance. |
