# Bulk Domain Rating Checker (`datascraperes/bulk-domain-rating-checker`) Actor Check Domain Rating by Ahrefs for up to 10,000 domains or URLs with clean three-field results, resilient retries, and transparent per-result pricing. - **URL**: https://apify.com/datascraperes/bulk-domain-rating-checker.md - **Developed by:** [DataScraperES](https://apify.com/datascraperes) (community) - **Categories:** SEO tools, Developer tools, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing $0.50 / 1,000 domain rating results This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Bulk Domain Rating Checker Retrieve Domain Rating for domains and URLs in bulk through the public Ahrefs API. No Ahrefs API key is required. ### What you get Each successful dataset row contains exactly three fields: - `target`: the original domain or URL. - `domainRating`: Domain Rating on Ahrefs' 0–100 logarithmic scale. - `fetchedAt`: the UTC retrieval timestamp. Results can be exported from Apify as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, JSONL, and other supported dataset formats. ### Pricing This Actor uses pay per event at **$0.50 per 1,000 successful results** (`$0.0005` each). One `domain-rating-result` event is charged only when Ahrefs returns HTTP 200 with a valid Domain Rating result and that result is stored in the main dataset. Invalid targets, HTTP errors, timeouts, exhausted retries, and malformed responses are written to the separate errors dataset without this event. The event price shown by Apify is the final Actor price; platform usage is not charged separately. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `targets` | string array | Required | Domains or URLs, one per line. Maximum 10,000. | | `maxConcurrency` | integer | `5` | Simultaneous requests, from 1 to 25. | | `requestTimeoutSecs` | integer | `30` | Timeout for each request, from 5 to 120 seconds. | | `maxRetries` | integer | `4` | Retries for temporary network, rate-limit, and server errors. | Example: ```json { "targets": ["ahrefs.com", "https://apify.com", "example.com"], "maxConcurrency": 5, "requestTimeoutSecs": 30, "maxRetries": 4 } ```` ### Output Successful results are stored in the default dataset: ```json { "target": "ahrefs.com", "domainRating": 91.0, "fetchedAt": "2026-07-10T12:00:00Z" } ``` Failed lookups are available in the **Uncharged errors** dataset. The run summary provides totals for unique targets, successes, failures, retries, charged events, skipped work, and spending-limit completion. ### Reliability and limits - Duplicate targets are always removed before lookup and billing. - HTTP 408, 425, 429, and 5xx responses are retried with exponential backoff and jitter. - `Retry-After` is honored when supplied by Ahrefs. - User-defined Apify spending limits are checked before requests are started. - Concurrency is bounded to protect both the run and the upstream service. - Persisted results and errors are detected after a migration or restart, preventing duplicate work and charges. - Domain Rating is provided as-is by Ahrefs and may change over time. # Actor input Schema ## `targets` (type: `array`): Domains or URLs to check. Enter one value per line. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of simultaneous Ahrefs requests. Lower this value if the upstream service is throttling requests. ## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`): Maximum time allowed for each individual HTTP request. ## `maxRetries` (type: `integer`): Retries for timeouts, network failures, HTTP 408/425/429, and 5xx responses. ## Actor input object example ```json { "targets": [ "example.com", "https://apify.com" ], "maxConcurrency": 5, "requestTimeoutSecs": 30, "maxRetries": 4 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Default dataset containing one charged row per valid HTTP 200 result. ## `errors` (type: `string`): Separate dataset containing validation, HTTP, and network failures. These rows do not use the domain-rating-result event. ## `summary` (type: `string`): Counters, completion state, charging information, and required attribution. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "targets": [ "ahrefs.com", "apify.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("datascraperes/bulk-domain-rating-checker").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
