Use the first option your agent supports.

API (official)

• Base URL: https://api.ahrefs.com/v3
• Endpoint: GET /keywords-explorer/overview
• Auth: send the header Authorization: Bearer $AHREFS_API_KEY
• Docs: https://docs.ahrefs.com/en/api/docs/introduction

Note: Only workspace owners and admins can create keys, in Account settings, API keys.

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

Rules

• Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
• Never print API keys.
