Ahrefs Free Website Stats Scraper

🔎 Ahrefs website stats scraper for SEO data

Ahrefs Free Website Stats Scraper extracts public website metrics from Ahrefs for the domains you submit. Paste domains, website URLs, or Ahrefs website stats URLs, and the Actor saves one clean result per domain with domain rating, search traffic, global rank, traffic value, linking websites, source URL, and scrape metadata.

• Use an Ahrefs website stats scraper to collect public domain metrics for a list of competitors.
• Check Ahrefs Domain Rating in bulk before scoring link-building prospects or partners.
• Export Ahrefs organic traffic, traffic value, and global rank for SEO reports or dashboards.
• Monitor linking website counts for domains you already track in spreadsheets or CRMs.
• Schedule repeat website stats checks and send rows to Apify datasets, API workflows, or webhooks.

No Ahrefs login, cookies, API key, or paid Ahrefs account is required from you. For a small first run, keep the prefilled targets and the default Full mode to see the complete output shape before adding a larger list.

The Actor is focused on free public Ahrefs website stats. It does not scrape logged-in Ahrefs dashboards, paid keyword reports, competitor lists, ad spend, backlink lists, or private project data.

📊 Data you can extract

Each dataset item is one Ahrefs website stats result. Rows can include:

• type - always ahrefs_website_stats
• status - ok or partial
• inputIndex - submitted target position
• requestedTarget - original domain or URL you entered
• domain - canonical domain checked on Ahrefs
• sourceUrl - public Ahrefs website stats URL
• scrapedAt - UTC scrape timestamp
• asOf - Ahrefs reporting month when shown
• domainRating - Ahrefs Domain Rating
• globalRank - global traffic rank shown by Ahrefs
• organicTraffic, organicTrafficText, organicTrafficChange, and organicTrafficChangeText
• trafficValue, trafficValueText, trafficValueChange, and trafficValueChangeText
• keywords and keywordsText
• linkingWebsites, linkingWebsitesText, linkingWebsitesChange, linkingWebsitesChangeText, and linkingWebsitesChangeDirection
• descriptionMeta - public page description when available
• missingFields - fields Ahrefs did not expose on that page, when the row is partial

Some fields can be empty because Ahrefs does not show every metric for every domain.

🚀 How to run it

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Add one domain, website URL, or Ahrefs website stats URL per line in Domains or URLs.
3. Keep Stats to collect set to Full, or choose a focused mode if you only need domain rating, traffic, or linking website metrics.
4. Keep Maximum domains small for your first run, then raise it when the output looks right.
5. Run the Actor and open the dataset.

You can export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML, or consume the same rows through the Apify API.

✍️ 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.

{
	"targets": [
		"wikipedia.org",
		"github.com",
		"https://ahrefs.com/websites/openai.com",
		"microsoft.com",
		"apple.com"
	],
	"mode": "full",
	"maxResults": 25
}

The mode field accepts full, authority_only, traffic_only, and backlinks_only. Invalid, duplicate, or unsupported domains are skipped, and the Actor continues through the rest of the list.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged for each successfully scraped domain saved to the dataset.

❓ FAQ

🔐 Do I need an Ahrefs account?

No. This Actor reads public Ahrefs website stats pages and does not ask for Ahrefs credentials, cookies, or API keys.

🌐 Can I submit full URLs?

Yes. You can submit domains, website URLs, or Ahrefs website stats URLs. The Actor normalizes each accepted target to a domain before checking Ahrefs.

📉 Why are some domains skipped?

Some domains do not have a public Ahrefs website stats page, or Ahrefs may temporarily return no public metrics for them. The Actor logs the skip and continues with the remaining targets.

🧩 What does partial status mean?

partial means Ahrefs showed at least one public metric for the domain, but not every metric requested by the selected mode. The row includes missingFields so you can filter or review it.

🧭 Can this replace the Ahrefs API?

No. It is a focused Ahrefs free website stats scraper for public website metrics. It does not replace paid Ahrefs exports, projects, audits, keyword reports, competitor reports, or private account data.

🔁 Why not use the Ahrefs API?

Use the Ahrefs API when you need official paid account data, private projects, or broader Ahrefs reports. Use this Actor when you only need the public free website stats page in an Apify dataset.

🧪 What are Ahrefs alternatives?

For adjacent public SEO data on Apify, try Moz Scraper, Ubersuggest Scraper, Seobility SEO Checker, Website URL Crawler, or SEMrush Free Website Stats Scraper, depending on the metrics you need.
