Ahrefs

Pull domain authority scores, backlink profiles, organic keyword rankings, and top-traffic pages directly from Ahrefs Site Explorer. Use this integration when you need programmatic SEO data inside an automated workflow — competitor analysis, link-building research, content audits, and rank-tracking pipelines.

Overview

Operations

Configuration

Outputs

Domain Rating (ahrefs_domain_rating)

Backlinks (ahrefs_backlinks)

Organic Keywords (ahrefs_organic_keywords)

Top Pages (ahrefs_top_pages)

Referring Domains (ahrefs_referring_domains)

Example

[Starter] → [Ahrefs: Domain Rating] → [Ahrefs: Referring Domains] → [Agent: Analyze link-building opportunities]

Set {{starter.domain}} as the target for both blocks, and pass your key as {{AHREFS_API_KEY}}. The Domain Rating block returns a DR score and global rank for a quick authority snapshot; the Referring Domains block then retrieves every unique linking domain with its own DR. Feed both outputs to an Agent block to identify high-DR sites worth pursuing for outreach, or flag newly discovered low-DR links for disavowal review.

Tips

• Domain Rating is the fastest check — use it as a qualifying step before running the heavier Backlinks or Referring Domains calls to avoid burning API credits on low-authority targets.
• mode controls scope — domain covers all pages, exact targets a single URL. For content-level analysis (which blog post earns the most links?) use exact or prefix; for site-wide authority checks use domain.
• Paginate large datasets with limit and offset inside a Loop block. Ahrefs returns up to 1,000 rows per call; use offset increments equal to limit until the returned array length is less than limit.
• Historical snapshots — pass a date in YYYY-MM-DD format to compare link profiles or keyword rankings over time. Omit date to always fetch the most current data.
