Endpoint: DR & AR 🎯

Currently, the Ahrefs API offers one powerful endpoint for search engine optimization. This endpoint allows you to retrieve the Domain Rating (DR) and Ahrefs Rank (AR) for a specified domain.

GET https://ahrefs-api.p.rapidapi.com/check-dr-ar

📊 DR & AR

This endpoint provides two essential metrics for SEO analysis:

1. Domain Rating (DR) 🏆

   • Measures the strength of a website's backlink profile on a 100-point scale
   • Considers the "link juice" transfer and equal distribution among linked domains
   • Scaled to a 0-100 range for easy comparison of domain authority

2. Ahrefs Rank (AR) 🏅

   • Ranks websites based on the size and quality of their dofollow referring domains
   • Lower AR numbers indicate higher-quality backlink profiles and better search rankings

Use this endpoint to assess the authority and backlink strength of any domain, helping you make informed decisions for your SEO strategies, link-building campaigns, and competitor analysis.
