|---|---|---|
| Request body | ||
| target | string | "ahrefs.com"Domain, subdomain, or full page URL to analyze. Send a domain without a protocol or leading www. |
| excludeLargeDomains | boolean | Leave out very large sites (such as google.com or wikipedia.org) that share backlinks with almost everyone. |
| limit | integer | 10Maximum number of competing domains to return. You are billed per returned result, so a lower limit costs less. |
| mainDomainOnly | boolean | Group results by registrable domain rather than listing subdomains separately. |
| Response | ||
| data | object | |
| data.competitors | object[] | Domains sharing backlinks with the target, most shared first. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity. |
| data.competitors[].domain | string | Competing domain. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity. |
| data.competitors[].rank | integer | Authority rank of the competing domain on a 0-1000 scale. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity. |
| data.competitors[].sharedBacklinks | integer | Backlinks the competing domain shares with the target. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity. |
| data.totalCount | integer | Total competing domains, before the limit. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity. |
| found | boolean | |
| reason | "not_found" | Present only when `found` is false, and says why there is no result. `not_found`: the source states the target does not exist, or returned nothing for it. A `found: false` answer is a successful call, not an error, and `costUsd` is what it actually cost. |
