How do I get an Ahrefs API key for getdr?

Sign up for a free account at ahrefs.com, open Account settings → API keys, and create a key. getdr looks for the key in four places: as a flag, GETDR_KEY environment variable, AHREFS_KEY environment variable, or in a config file at ~/.config/getdr/config.toml. You can verify it works with getdr key check.

Can multiple machines share a single Ahrefs key?

Yes, run getdr serve on one machine with the key and point other machines at it using the --api flag. The clients then need no key of their own, and repeated checks come from the shared cache.

What is the rate limit for checking domains?

Ahrefs publishes no official rate limit for the Domain Rating endpoint, but in practice about 40–60 requests per minute go through. getdr packs up to 1000 targets into one request and sends no more than 40 requests per minute by default, with configurable batching and rate limiting.

Open-source command-line tool to check Ahrefs Domain Rating for single domains or bulk lists, with local caching and optional HTTP API server.

Overview

Screenshot of the getdr homepage — What index-pages.com looks like

getdr is a free, open-source command-line tool that checks Ahrefs Domain Rating (DR) for one domain, multiple domains, or bulk lists from files. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows as a single static binary. All checks are stored in a local SQLite cache with timestamps, so repeated lookups are instant and show how DR has changed over time.

The tool uses the free Ahrefs Domain Rating endpoint, which requires no API units. Results can be output as formatted cards for terminals, TSV, CSV, or JSON. When run with `getdr serve`, the same binary becomes a small HTTP API that keeps the cache and API key on one machine, allowing other scripts and agents on the network to query it without their own keys.

getdr also comes as an MCP server for Claude and Cursor, and as a bash-based agent skill. All three interfaces return the same JSON record structure. The tool supports both DR3 and DR4 rating formulas, configuration via flags, environment variables or TOML files, and detailed caching controls with TTL settings.
