Note: Ahrefs deprecated its current API version, API v2, on 1 October 2025 and migrated to version 3, API v3. All legacy integrations will stop working from 1 November 2025.
API v3 requires an API key tied to a paid Ahrefs plan. You will need to reconnect your data sources in Funnel.
Plan changes: Some data points may only be available on higher-tier Ahrefs plans. You may need to upgrade their Ahrefs subscription to keep the same level of access.
Report structure changes: Some existing reports may be removed or significantly changed. You might need to reconfigure your data sources or pause existing ones to preserve historical data before creating new sources that match the updated structure.
For more information, refer to the following articles in Ahrefs documentation: How are latest plans different as compared to the old/ legacy plans?, For legacy app developers, API guide
Our Ahrefs connector features three different reports:
Referring domains: Information about unique websites linking to your chosen target.
Use this to e.g.:See which domains link to you or your competitors.
Find domains that repeatedly link to competitors.
View all backlinks you have from a specific domain.
Backlinks: Information about individual backlinks (URL-to-URL) pointing to your chosen target.
This report now also includes many of the metrics that were previously in the old v2 metrics report.
Use this to e.g.:See all backlinks for you or your competitors.
Search competitors’ link profiles for link opportunities.
Identify potentially harmful backlinks.
Positions metrics: Number of organic keywords, traffic, and estimated cost for the target URL.
(Handled separately from backlink data.)
You choose report the first time you connect your source. In addition you specify target, mode and, depending on which report you choose, limit must be specified.
Target: The domain/urls to fetch information about.
Mode: Specifies the scope of your target. You can choose between the following modes:
Exact URL: Fetches data concerning the specified URL - examples.com/path/
Path: Fetches data concerning the path given including its subfolders - example.com/path/*
Domain: Fetches data concerning the specified domain - example.com/*
Subdomain: Fetches data concerning the domain including subdomains - *example.com/*
Limit: The limit for the number of rows that each time will be fetched from Ahrefs.
Depending on your Ahrefs price plan, you have X amount of Integration rows/credits to spend.
All reports we receive from Ahrefs, are dateless and therefore have no timeline.
