Step 1: Create an API Key in Ahrefs Account
First, you need to generate an API key in your Ahrefs account. So, log into your Ahrefs account, then from the dashboard navigate to the 'Settings' area. In the settings, find the 'API' section, where you will find an option to generate an 'API Key'. Click on 'Generate API Key', then save this key somewhere safe, because you will need it during integration.
Step 2: Set Up The API in Bubble.io
Next, you need to set up your API Connector in Bubble.io. So, navigate to your Bubble.io dashboard and select the specific project that you wish to integrate with Ahrefs. From the Bubble.io project dashboard, navigate to the plugins section, search for 'API Connector' in the plugin market and install it.
Step 3: Configure The API in Bubble.io
Once you have installed the API connector, go back to the Bubble.io project dashboard, and you will see the installed API Connector. In order to configure the API, you need to add an API, and in the API configuration settings, you can name your API connection whatever you want. However, it is a good practice to use the name of the service you are integrating to keep things organized i.e., in this case, 'Ahrefs'.
In the API base URL, paste in the base URL of Ahrefs API i.e. https://apiv2.ahrefs.com. Make sure the 'Add the API key in the header' option is selected, and in the 'Shared Headers' section add Authorization as the Key and your Ahrefs API key you generated in Step 1 as the value.
Step 4: Set Up Bubble.io Calls To Ahrefs
Now, you need to configure the calls to send and receive data from Ahrefs. In the API Connector, below the 'Shared Headers' section, you will find the 'API Calls' section. Here, click on 'Add Another Call', then name your call (for example, 'Get Backlink Data'), and select 'GET' as the data type.
Next, paste the 'GET' URL (https://apiv2.ahrefs.com?from=backlinks&target=ahrefs.com&mode=exact&limit=1000) in the URL input box. This URL is an example for a basic backlink data request. You can modify the parameters from (from=backlinks) and target (=ahrefs.com) based on your requirements.
After configuring the API call, click on 'Initialize Call' to run a test API call and make sure everything is working correctly.
Step 5: Use The API Data in Your Bubble.io Application
Once you have configured and initialized your API Call, you should see a 'Data Types' section appear below the API Call. Here, you will see all of the data types included in the API Call response. If successful, you should be able to use this data in your Bubble.io application.
It is IMPORTANT to note, however, that due to the nature of Bubble's visual programming paradigm, the way you use this data will depend on your specific application and how you have set up your database and workflows.
Please also note that the exact steps and locations may vary slightly depending on the Bubble.io and Ahrefs versions or changes in their interface, but the general process would remain the same.
And there you have it! You have successfully integrated Bubble.io with Ahrefs! For a more customized integration process, please refer to Ahrefs' API documentation and Bubble's API connector documentation.
