Ahrefs has introduced their new Ahrefs Connect program. This allows users on any Ahrefs plan to access the Ahrefs API v3 and connect their Ahrefs accounts to our new Ahrefs connector.
We are updating the Supermetrics Ahrefs data source to make sure users with any Ahrefs plan are able to connect to the data source.
Ahrefs data source users need to reconnect the data source on October 29, 2025.
Those users who are still using the Ahrefs (legacy) data source need to switch to the new Ahrefs data source by October 31, 2025.
Our new Ahrefs data source will be updated on October 29, 2025. Once this update has been made, you will see a message prompting you to reconnect using your Ahrefs login details. Once you have reconnected with your Ahrefs login details, you can continue using the data source as you were before.
The Ahrefs (legacy) data source will be retired on October 31, 2025, as Ahrefs is retiring the API that this data source uses. You will no longer be able to use this data source after this date. We recommend that you switch to the new Ahrefs connector prior to this date. Our new Ahrefs connector will be updated on October 29, 2025. After this date, you can connect using your Ahrefs login details and use the new data source instead.
To make sure your Ahrefs queries/transfers continue running smoothly, please take the following steps:
- Go to the Data sources page on the Hub.
- Select Ahrefs in the list of data sources.
- Click on “Add new connection” and follow the steps to create a new connection. Please give a different name to this connection than your previous ones to differentiate it.
- After creating the new connection, click on the “Reconnect” icon at the end of the row for the new connection.
- In the window that opens, take note of the ID which is visible under “Current login”. Close this window without completing the authentication.
- In the connection list, click on the “Replace connection” icon for your old connection that you wish to continue using. Please note that you must be a team Admin to access this feature.
- In the “Replace connection” modal, select the ID of the new connection that you noted in step 5. Click on “Replace”.
- Done! Now any queries/transfers tied to your old connection will continue working as before.
Alternatively, you can create a new connection and re-create your queries/transfers in your destination.
Ahrefs (legacy) data source users can connect to the new Ahrefs data source on the Data sources page on the Hub. After connecting, you can start recreating your queries/transfers.
