Ahrefs Free Website Stats Scraper

🔎 Ahrefs free website stats scraper for SEO teams

SEO teams, agencies, and developers can collect public Ahrefs website stats for submitted domains. Each successful domain can return Domain Rating, organic search traffic, global rank, traffic value, linking websites, source period, and source URL when Ahrefs exposes them. Use the rows to compare sites, build reports, and feed SEO workflows.

• Compare public stats for a list of competitors with Ahrefs competitor domain metrics.
• Check Domain Rating across prospects with Ahrefs Domain Rating bulk.
• Export traffic value and rank fields with Ahrefs traffic value and rank export.
• Track linking website counts with Ahrefs linking websites monitor.
• Schedule repeat checks with Ahrefs website stats scheduled checks for domains you already track.

The Actor reads public Ahrefs website stats. It does not return private projects, paid dashboards, paid keyword or backlink reports, private competitor reports, audits, ad-spend data, or raw HTML.

📊 Ahrefs website stats rows

Each successful public domain check can save one structured dataset row. The row keeps the source URL and period plus the metrics and lists Ahrefs exposes. A source may leave out a metric, so a field can be missing and an array can be empty.

If several submitted values resolve to the same domain, the first eligible value is used and later duplicate domains are ignored.

🚀 Run public Ahrefs stats checks

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Add one domain, website URL, or Ahrefs website stats URL per line in Domains or URLs, or start with the prefilled targets.
3. Set Result type to Full, or choose a focused mode for domain rating, traffic, or linking website metrics.
4. Set Maximum domains when you want a limit. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted.
5. Run the Actor and open the dataset.

Invalid, duplicate, and unsupported targets are skipped while the Actor continues through the list.

⚙️ Input

Use domains when you have a clean list. Use full URLs when your source data already contains website links. Use Ahrefs website stats URLs when you copied targets from Ahrefs.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. One successful domain saved to the dataset is the charged outcome. A target with no public stats is skipped and creates no dataset row. There is no separate Actor-start charge in this pricing configuration.

🔌 Integrations

Use the Apify dataset and API to read rows in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML. Schedule repeat checks for domains you track and use webhooks for run notifications.

❓ FAQ

What can I enter?

You can enter a domain, an ordinary website URL, or an Ahrefs website stats URL on each line.

What does each mode return?

full returns the complete public shape. authority_only returns Domain Rating. traffic_only returns traffic-related fields, and backlinks_only returns linking website fields and trends.

What happens when Ahrefs has no public stats?

The target is skipped, no dataset row is saved for it, and the Actor continues with the rest of the list.

What does an empty Maximum domains value do?

It returns all available results until the source is exhausted. Invalid, duplicate, and unsupported targets are skipped.

How are duplicate domains handled?

The first eligible value for a domain is used. Later submitted values that resolve to the same domain are ignored.

Can every row include every metric?

No. Ahrefs may not expose every metric for every domain. The row keeps the fields and nested lists that the public source provides.

Does this include private Ahrefs reports?

No. The Actor focuses on public website stats and does not return private projects, paid dashboards, paid reports, or audits.
