🔎 Ahrefs Scraper

Pull rich, structured SEO data from Ahrefs' free tools — without an Ahrefs subscription or API key. Give the actor a domain/URL and/or a keyword, tick the datasets you want, and it returns clean JSON you can pipe straight into spreadsheets, dashboards, or your own pipelines.

It covers 9 Ahrefs free tools in one run:

✨ Why Choose Us?

• All-in-one — 9 Ahrefs tools behind a single, simple input.
• Bulk-ready — analyse many domains in one run.
• Resilient — starts on a direct connection and auto-escalates to datacenter → residential proxies only if Ahrefs blocks it, then sticks with the working tier.
• Live results — every record is pushed the moment it's collected, so a long run never loses data.
• Per-section output — each tool gets its own clean dataset view (table) for easy export.

🔑 Key Features

• ✅ Single + bulk URL/domain input
• ✅ 188-country localisation for keyword, SERP & traffic data
• ✅ exact / subdomains scope and http/https/both protocol control
• ✅ Cloudflare Turnstile solving via CapSolver, 2Captcha, Playwright, or a static token
• ✅ Polite rate limiting with configurable delay
• ✅ Live dataset writes + friendly, emoji-rich run log

🛡️ Captcha — handled for you

Ahrefs gates every free tool behind a Cloudflare Turnstile challenge. This actor solves it automatically with a built-in solver — you don't need to bring your own captcha key or configure anything. Just enter your target and press Start.

📥 Input

{
"keyword":"ai automation",
"url":"make.com",
"country":"us",
"mode":"subdomains",
"include_web_authority":true,
"include_traffic":true,
"include_backlinks":true,
"include_keywords":true,
"include_serp":true,
"include_ai_visibility":true,
"proxyConfiguration":{"useApifyProxy":true}
}

Captcha solving is built in — no key required.

📤 Output

One record per tool, e.g. a traffic record:

{
"data_captured_at":"2026-06-09T16:09:17+00:00",
"type":"traffic",
"domain":"make.com",
"mode":"subdomains",
"website_authority":{"domainRating":89.0,"backlinks":2705381,"refdomains":35390},
"website_traffic":{"trafficMonthlyAvg":360938,"costMontlyAvg":17315114},
"website_traffic_history":[ ... ],
"website_traffic_top_pages":[ ... ],
"website_traffic_top_countries":[ ... ],
"website_traffic_top_keywords":[ ... ]
}

Each type (traffic, backlinks, broken_links, keyword_ranking, keyword_difficulty, keywords, serp, ai_visibility, top_websites) has its own dataset view in the Output tab.

💰 Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event: you are billed per result record it produces (plus standard platform usage). Captcha-solver costs (CapSolver/2Captcha) are billed by those providers directly, not by Apify.

❓ FAQ

Do I need an Ahrefs account? No — this uses Ahrefs' public free tools.

Do I need a captcha key? No — Ahrefs protects every free tool with Cloudflare Turnstile, but this actor solves it automatically with a built-in solver.

Will it use a proxy? Only if Ahrefs blocks the direct connection — it then escalates to datacenter, then residential, and stays there.

Some fields are empty — why? A given tool may have no data for a target (e.g. a brand-new domain), or Ahrefs returned an error for that one call; the rest of the run still succeeds.

🛟 Support & Feedback

Open an issue on the actor's Issues tab in the Apify Console with your run ID and input, and we'll help.
