v0 and Ahrefs integration: Step-by-Step Guide 2025

 

Prerequisites

 

This guide explains how to integrate your v0 TypeScript project with the Ahrefs API. Make sure you have the following before beginning:

• Ahrefs API token – Obtain your API token from the Ahrefs developer dashboard.

• Basic knowledge of TypeScript – Familiarity with modules, async/await, and HTTP requests is helpful.

 

Setting Up Dependencies

 

Since v0 does not have a terminal, manually add the dependency details to your project’s package configuration. Open your package.json file and in the "dependencies" section, add the following entry for axios which we will use to send HTTP requests:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "axios": "^0.21.1"
    // Add other dependencies here if needed
  }
}

This instructs the project to load axios. The v0 platform will use this configuration to install dependencies.

 

Creating the Ahrefs Integration Module

 

Create a new file in your project. Name the file ahrefs.ts. This module will encapsulate all code needed to connect to the Ahrefs API.

In ahrefs.ts, paste the following code snippet:

import axios from 'axios';

const AHREFSAPITOKEN: string = 'yourahrefsapitokenhere'; // Replace with your actual API token
/**

getDomainMetrics calls Ahrefs API to retrieve metrics for a given domain.
@param domain - The domain to analyze.
@returns A Promise containing the API response.

 */
export async function getDomainMetrics(domain: string): Promise {
  const apiUrl = https://apiv2.ahrefs.com?token=${AHREFS_API_TOKEN}&target=${domain}&from=domain_rating&mode=exact;
  try {
    const response = await axios.get(apiUrl);
    return response.data;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching Ahrefs domain metrics:', error);
    throw error;
  }
}

This code imports axios, sets up your API token, and defines a function that sends a GET request to the Ahrefs API to fetch domain metrics.

 

Integrating the Module into Your Main Application

 

Open your main TypeScript file where you wish to call Ahrefs API. For example, if your primary file is named app.ts, follow these steps:

Add the following import at the top of app.ts to use the function from ahrefs.ts:

import { getDomainMetrics } from './ahrefs';

Now, call the function within your application logic. For instance, you can add the following code snippet in app.ts where appropriate:

async function showDomainMetrics() {
  const domain = 'example.com'; // Replace with your target domain
  try {
    const metrics = await getDomainMetrics(domain);
    console.log('Ahrefs Domain Metrics:', metrics);
    // You can now use the metrics data in your application
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to load domain metrics.');
  }
}

showDomainMetrics();

This function demonstrates how to call the API integration function and log the returned metrics.

 

Configuration and Running Your Project

 

Ensure that the API token in ahrefs.ts is correctly set. You may also consider managing sensitive tokens via environment variables if your v0 project supports that feature. In that case, adjust your code accordingly to read from the environment.

After completing these changes, save all files. The v0 platform should automatically recognize the changes and load the new code. When your main file runs, it will call the Ahrefs API via the integration module.

Review the console output in your v0 project's UI to see the Ahrefs API response or any errors that occur.
