Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use proxies with Ahrefs API?
Yes, our proxies work with both Ahrefs web interface scraping and API access. Residential proxies are recommended for web scraping, while datacenter can work for API calls.
How many concurrent requests can I make?
With rotating residential proxies, you can run unlimited concurrent sessions. Each request goes through a different IP, so there's no connection limit from our side.
Will Ahrefs detect proxy usage?
Our residential proxies are real ISP-assigned IPs from household devices. They're indistinguishable from regular users, making detection extremely unlikely.
What about rate limiting?
We recommend spacing requests naturally (2-5 seconds between requests) to mimic human behavior. Combined with IP rotation, this prevents rate limiting.
