🔗 Ahrefs Free Tools Scraper
🚀 Pull SEO metrics from Ahrefs free tools without an Ahrefs subscription. Domain Rating, backlinks, referring domains, keyword difficulty. Camoufox-driven widget automation.
The Ahrefs Free Tools Scraper drives the public Ahrefs widget UI through a Camoufox browser and returns Domain Rating, URL Rating, total backlinks, referring domains, dofollow backlinks, organic traffic, organic keywords, and keyword-difficulty metrics. Switch between domain and keyword tools per run.
Ahrefs runs one of the largest backlink and SEO datasets in the industry, with their public link index updated every few minutes. Their public free tools expose enough metrics for everyday SEO decisions but are gated by anti-bot. This Actor automates the widget flow so you can pull DR, backlinks, and keyword data on a list of targets without a paid Ahrefs subscription.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| SEO agencies, content marketers, link builders, founders, content strategists | Link building, competitive SEO, content auditing, keyword research |
📋 What the Ahrefs Free Tools Scraper does
Five workflows in a single run:
- 🌐 Website Authority Checker. Domain Rating, URL Rating, total backlinks, referring domains, dofollow share, organic traffic, organic keywords.
- 🔗 Backlink Checker. Backlink count and top referring domains for a target URL.
- 📈 Keyword Difficulty Checker. KD score (0-100) plus search volume and parent topic.
- 💡 Keyword Generator. Suggestion list with volume and KD per suggestion.
- 🌍 Country routing. ISO country code routes the keyword tools through the matching index.
Each row reports the target (domain or keyword), tool name, country (for keyword tools), Domain Rating, URL Rating, backlinks, referring domains, dofollow backlinks, organic traffic, organic keywords, search volume, difficulty, and a check timestamp.
💡 Why it matters: Ahrefs is the de-facto standard for SEO link metrics. A monthly Ahrefs seat costs hundreds of dollars. Their free tools expose the same DR and backlinks data, just behind anti-bot. This Actor automates the free-tool flow so you can pull SEO data at pay-per-event pricing instead of subscription pricing.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: backlinks, checkedAt, dofollowBacklinks, dofollowRefdomains, domainRating, referringDomains, target, tool. All 8 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
⚠️ Good to Know: Ahrefs serves the free tools behind hCaptcha plus signed JWTs. The widget submission flow works end-to-end via Camoufox; metric extraction succeeds when no captcha is shown. v1 returns one record per target; metric values may be null when Ahrefs gates a specific request. Cold start is around 25 seconds per target.
