Consider the Ahrefs API as another tool for building custom dashboards tailored to your team's precise needs. It's an excellent way to combine data from multiple Ahrefs reports into a single, streamlined page, saving your SEO team time and effort. However, it's important to note that to fully leverage the Ahrefs API, you'll need to be on the enterprise plan. Ahrefs API empowers you to create the exact dashboard your team needs, providing a competitive advantage in the process.

Different authentication methods are available through the API connector, providing flexibility and control over data access. Understanding these methods is crucial for maintaining the security of your data.
To start using the API connector, open Google Sheets and navigate to Extensions > API connector > Open > Create Request. Within the request form, you'll enter the necessary details to establish your connection. It's a straightforward process that quickly unlocks the power of SEO data.
For those using the Google Sheets connector, you can easily add your API token. If you have already installed the connector, to add the API token, select the connector settings and click on revoke access to remove the connector. Install the connector again with the API token.
Finally, edit the report by selecting and editing the fields you want to see in your report, and then click "create report". This allows for data-driven insights to be presented in a simple format. API connectors provide scalable, programmatic access to a comprehensive set of metrics for your domains, keyword rankings, locations, performance, and more.
Whether you're an experienced SEO professional or just starting out, API connectors empower you to work smarter, not harder.
