Get Backlinks on Ahrefs

Description:Get the backlinks for a domain or URL with details for the referring pages (e.g., anchor and page title).

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.

Action Authentication#

Ahrefs uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Ahrefs account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Ahrefs and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Ahrefs API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
