Outscraper Overview#

Outscraper provides a powerful API to scrape public data from Google services like Google Maps, Google Search, and Google Ads. The API can extract rich datasets including business listings, reviews, ads data, and SERP. When leveraged with Pipedream, you can automate workflows integrating Outscraper's capabilities with other apps, conduct data analysis, monitor brand mentions, or enrich CRM data, all in real-time and without the need for manual intervention.

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.
