Vernclaw Domain Authority Get

Domain Authority Checker — CLI Skill

Check any domain's free Domain Rating (DR) score through the vernclaw-cli.

When to Use

• Evaluate a website's SEO strength and ranking potential
• Compare authority across competitor domains
• Screen link-building prospects by DR before deeper backlink analysis
• Assess domain value for acquisition or partnership decisions

Prerequisites

npm i -g vernclaw-connect-cli

Authentication

Before using this skill, verify you are authenticated:

vernclaw-cli status

If not authenticated, run:

vernclaw-cli login
# or for CI/CD:
vernclaw-cli login --api-key YOUR_KEY

Generate an API key at vernclaw.com/settings/connectors.

Invocation

# Single domain
vernclaw-cli invoke seo.domain-authority --domain example.com

# Multiple domains (comma-separated)
vernclaw-cli invoke seo.domain-authority --domain example.com,competitor.com,rival.com

Parameters

Output

The invoke command prints compact JSON to stdout by default:

{"status":200,"data":{}}

• Parse the numeric status first; 2xx means the request succeeded or was accepted, and non-2xx means the agent should inspect the error payload.
• data contains a normalized summary and metrics with fields such as:
  • domain — normalized target domain
  • domain_rating — DR score on a 0–100 scale
  • external_rank — optional rank signal when available
• --pretty is for human-readable terminal output only; do not parse it programmatically.
• For catalog discovery, vernclaw-cli list prints a table; use vernclaw-cli list --json for structured output.
• The CLI omits provider raw payloads from normal connector output.

This connector is free to invoke (credits_cost is 0). The free DR endpoint does not include detailed backlink or referring-domain counts; use backlink connectors for link-level evidence.

Execution mode: synchronous (results returned immediately).

Workflow

# 1. Check authentication
vernclaw-cli status

# 2. Check your own domain
vernclaw-cli invoke seo.domain-authority --domain mysite.com

# 3. Compare with top competitors
vernclaw-cli invoke seo.domain-authority --domain mysite.com,competitor1.com,competitor2.com
