Connect Ahrefs to PostHog to sync your data into the PostHog data warehouse for analysis and modeling.

Requires an Ahrefs Lite plan or higher. Create an API key in Account settings > API keys. Syncs use your account's API units. Health scores and projects are free. Issues and pages each cost 50 units per request. Metrics history costs 10 units per metric for each month returned. Each sync imports the latest crawl, with a sample of up to 100 pages. Page data requires verified project ownership. Domain Rating, metrics history, and backlinks report on the Site Audit project's target. History tables start 180 days back, and backlinks import up to 1000 live links.
