Requirements

Python 3
A credential in AHREFS_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28bf209. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python3
- pip3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- github.com
- api.ahrefs.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- AHREFS_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ahrefs Python loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~76k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 477 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~76k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description: Manages Ahrefs API usage in Python using `ahrefs-python` library. Use when working with SEO / marketing related tasks or with data including backlinks, keywords, domain ratings, organic traffic, site audits, rank tracking, and brand monitoring. Covers `ahrefs-python` usage including AhrefsClient / AsyncAhrefsClient, typed request/response models, error handling, and all API sections.

Ahrefs Python SDK Skill

Overview

The Ahrefs API provides programmatic access to Ahrefs SEO data. The official Python SDK (ahrefs-python) provides typed request and response models for all endpoints, auto-generated from the OpenAPI spec.

Key capabilities:

Site Explorer - Backlinks, organic keywords, domain rating, traffic, referring domains
Keywords Explorer - Keyword research, volumes, difficulty, related terms
Rank Tracker - SERP monitoring, competitor tracking
Site Audit - Technical SEO issues, page content, page explorer
Brand Radar - AI brand mentions, share of voice, impressions
SERP Overview - Search result analysis
Batch Analysis - Bulk domain/URL metrics via POST

Installation

pip3 install git+https://github.com/ahrefs/ahrefs-python.git

Requires Python 3.11+. Dependencies: httpx, pydantic.

API Method Discovery

The SDK has 52 methods across 7 API sections. The built-in search tool is the fastest way to find the right method — it returns matching method signatures, parameters, and return types directly, so there's no need to scan through a large reference.

Python (preferred when already in a Python context):

python

from ahrefs.search import search_api_methods

# Returns formatted text with method signatures, parameters, and return types
print(search_api_methods("domain rating"))

# Filter by API section and limit results
print(search_api_methods("backlinks", section="site-explorer", limit=3))

CLI (preferred when exploring from the terminal):

# Ensure python3 points to the interpreter where ahrefs-python is installed:
#   which python3
#   python3 -c "import ahrefs"
python3 -m ahrefs.api_search "domain rating"
python3 -m ahrefs.api_search "backlinks" --section site-explorer --limit 3
python3 -m ahrefs.api_search "batch" --json
python3 -m ahrefs.api_search --sections  # list all API sections

IMPORTANT RULES

ALWAYS use the ahrefs-python SDK. DO NOT make raw httpx/requests calls to the Ahrefs API.
ALWAYS pass dates as strings in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g. "2025-01-15").
ALWAYS use select on list endpoints to request only the columns you need. List endpoints return all columns by default, which wastes API units and increases response size.
USE context managers (with / async with) for client lifecycle management.
NEVER hardcode API keys in source code. Use the AHREFS_API_KEY environment variable or your preferred secrets mechanism.
The client handles retries (429, 5xx, connection errors) automatically. DO NOT implement your own retry logic on top of the SDK.

Quick Start

python

import os
from ahrefs import AhrefsClient

with AhrefsClient(api_key=os.environ["AHREFS_API_KEY"]) as client:
    data = client.site_explorer_domain_rating(target="ahrefs.com", date="2025-01-15")
    print(data.domain_rating)  # 91.0
    print(data.ahrefs_rank)    # 3

SDK Patterns

Client Setup

python

import os
import ahrefs

with ahrefs.AhrefsClient(
    api_key=os.environ["AHREFS_API_KEY"],  # or any secrets source
    base_url="...",          # override API base URL (default: https://api.ahrefs.com/v3)
    timeout=30.0,            # request timeout in seconds (default: 60)
    max_retries=3,           # retries on transient errors (default: 2)
) as client:
    ...

Async client:

python

import os
from ahrefs import AsyncAhrefsClient

async with AsyncAhrefsClient(api_key=os.environ["AHREFS_API_KEY"]) as client:
    data = await client.site_explorer_domain_rating(target="ahrefs.com", date="2025-01-15")

For parallel calls, use asyncio.gather:

python

import asyncio

async with AsyncAhrefsClient(api_key=os.environ["AHREFS_API_KEY"]) as client:
    dr_ahrefs, dr_moz = await asyncio.gather(
        client.site_explorer_domain_rating(target="ahrefs.com", date="2025-01-15"),
        client.site_explorer_domain_rating(target="moz.com", date="2025-01-15"),
    )

Calling Methods

Two calling styles -- both are equivalent:

python

# Keyword arguments (recommended)
data = client.site_explorer_domain_rating(target="ahrefs.com", date="2025-01-15")

# Request objects (full type safety)
from ahrefs.types import SiteExplorerDomainRatingRequest
request = SiteExplorerDomainRatingRequest(target="ahrefs.com", date="2025-01-15")
data = client.site_explorer_domain_rating(request)

Method names follow {api_section}_{endpoint}, e.g. site_explorer_organic_keywords, keywords_explorer_overview.

Responses

Methods return typed Data objects directly.

Scalar endpoints return a single data object (or None):

python

data = client.site_explorer_domain_rating(target="ahrefs.com", date="2025-01-15")
print(data.domain_rating)

List endpoints return a list of data objects. There is no pagination — set limit to the number of results you need. Use select to request only the columns you need:

python

items = client.site_explorer_organic_keywords(
    target="ahrefs.com",
    date="2025-01-15",
    select="keyword,volume,best_position",
    order_by="volume:desc",
    limit=10,
)
for item in items:
    print(item.keyword, item.volume, item.best_position)

Error Handling

python

import ahrefs

try:
    data = client.site_explorer_domain_rating(target="example.com", date="2025-01-15")
except ahrefs.AuthenticationError:    # 401
    ...
except ahrefs.RateLimitError as e:    # 429 -- e.retry_after has the delay
    ...
except ahrefs.NotFoundError:          # 404
    ...
except ahrefs.APIError as e:          # other 4xx/5xx -- e.status_code, e.response_body
    ...
except ahrefs.APIConnectionError:     # network / timeout
    ...

All exceptions inherit from ahrefs.AhrefsError.

Common Parameters

Most list endpoints share these parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`target`	`str`	Domain, URL, or path to analyze
`date`	`str`	Date in YYYY-MM-DD format
`date_from` / `date_to`	`str`	Date range for history endpoints
`country`	`str`	Two-letter country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2)
`select`	`str`	Comma-separated columns to return
`where`	`str`	Filter expression
`order_by`	`str`	Column and direction, e.g. `"volume:desc"`
`limit`	`int`	Max results to return

Parameters typed as enums in the API reference (CountryEnum, VolumeModeEnum, etc.) accept plain strings — pass country="us" not CountryEnum("us").

The where parameter takes a JSON string. Use json.dumps() to build it:

python

import json
where = json.dumps({"field": "volume", "is": ["gte", 1000]})
items = client.site_explorer_organic_keywords(
    target="ahrefs.com", date="2025-01-15",
    select="keyword,volume", where=where,
)

For full filter syntax (boolean combinators, operators, nested fields), see references/filter-syntax.md.

API Methods

Use search_api_methods("query") or python3 -m ahrefs.api_search "query" to find methods by keyword. Search covers all 52 methods across 7 API sections and returns complete signatures, parameters, and response fields.
