The census on SnapPy only has knots and links identified up to 16 crossings I believe, so since your link has 22 crossings, there is no chance of an identification. But it is not hard to see that this is a satellite link of the Whitehead link (Wikipedia, Knot Atlas, Wolfram). Image below is from Knotatlas.
The standard Whitehead link looks like a circle with a figure 8 overlaid, then made alternating. The circle component, we can see was replaced with the unlink on two components with $0$-framing (i.e. no twisting) and the figure 8 was also replaced with two components but we have some twisting going on. If you want to be precise, you will need to work out the framing on the figure 8 part. Framing is not obvious, so I would avoid just eyeballing it. See Rolfsen for some in-depth discussion of framings. Page 110 I think is where it starts.
Good luck.
