iLovePDF Overview#

The iLovePDF API lets you automate PDF processing tasks like merging, splitting, compressing, and converting PDFs to other formats. iLovePDF's robust functionality can be harnessed in Pipedream workflows, which may include handling PDFs generated from various triggers, processing them as needed, and connecting to other services for storage, data extraction, or further actions based on the transformed PDFs.

Ahrefs Overview#

Ahrefs API taps into the vast data reserves of Ahrefs, a robust SEO tool, to programmatically access insights into backlink profiles, keyword rankings, and SEO health. With Pipedream's capabilities, you can automate SEO monitoring, integrate with content management systems, trigger alerts for new or lost backlinks, or gather intelligence for keyword research—all without manual intervention. This unlocks the potential for real-time SEO strategy adjustments and the integration of SEO data into broader business processes or analytics platforms.
