RAhrefs (version 0.1.4)

rah_ahrefs_rank: Export the URLs and their rankings.

Description

Export the URLs and their rankings.

Usage

rah_ahrefs_rank(target, token = Sys.getenv("AHREFS_AUTH_TOKEN"),
  mode = "domain", metrics = NULL, limit = 1000, order_by = NULL,
  where = NULL, having = NULL)

Arguments

target

character string. Aim of a request: a domain, a directory or a URL

token

character string. Authentication token. Should be available through enviromental variables after authentication with function rah_auth()

mode

character string. Mode of operation: exact, domain, subdomains or prefix. See more in Details section

metrics

character vector of columns to select. See more in Details section

limit

integer. Number of results to return

order_by

character vector of columns to sort on. See more in Details section

where

character string - a condition created by rah_condition_set() function that generates proper "where" condition to satisfy. See more in Details section

having

character string - a condition created by rah_condition_set() function that generates proper "having" condition to satisfy. See more in Details section

Value

data frame

Details

1. available metrics - you can select which columns (metrics) you want to download and which one would be useful in filtering, BUT not all of them can always be used in "where" & "having" conditions:

Column	Type	Where	Having	Description
url	string	+	+	Target of the request.

2. "mode" parameter can take 4 different values that will affect how the results will be grouped.

Example of URL directory with folder:

• Example URL: ahrefs.com/api/

• exact: ahrefs.com/api/

• domain: ahrefs.com/*

• subdomains: *ahrefs.com/*

• prefix: ahrefs.com/api/*

Example of URL directory with subdomain:

• Example URL: apiv2.ahrefs.com

• exact: apiv2.ahrefs.com/

• domain: apiv2.ahrefs.com/*

• subdomains: *apiv2.ahrefs.com/*

• prefix: apiv2.ahrefs.com/*

3. "order_by" parameter is a character string that forces sorting of the results. Structure:

• Structure: "column_name:asc|desc"

• Single column example: "first_seen:asc" ~ this sorts results by first_seen column in ascending order

• Multi column example: "last_seen:desc,first_seen:asc" ~ this sorts results by 1) last_seen column in descending order, and next by 2) first_seen column in ascending order

4. "where" & "having" are EXPERIMENTAL parameters of condition sets (character strings) that control filtering the results. To create arguments:

1. use rah_condition() function to create a single condition, for example: cond_1 <- rah_condition(column_name = "links", operator = "GREATER_THAN", value = "10")

2. use rah_condition_set() function to group single conditions into final condition string, for example: fin_cond <- rah_condition_set(cond_1, cond_2)

3. provide final condition to proper report function as a parameter, for example: RAhrefs::rah_ahrefs_rank(target = "ahrefs.com", token = "0123456789", mode = "domain", metrics = NULL, limit = 1000, where = fin_cond, order_by = "first_seen:asc")

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# creating single conditions for 'where' parameter
cond_1 <- RAhrefs::rah_condition(
  column_name = "url",
  operator    = "WORD",
  value       = "www")

cond_2 <- RAhrefs::rah_condition(
  column_name = "url",
  operator    = "GREATER_THAN",
  value       = "/cart")

# creating single conditions for 'having' parameter
cond_3 <- RAhrefs::rah_condition(
  column_name = "ahrefs_rank",

# joining conditions into one 'where' condition set
cond_where <- RAhrefs::rah_condition_set(cond_1, cond_2)

# joining conditions into one 'having' condition set
cond_having <- RAhrefs::rah_condition_set(cond_3)

# downloading
b <- RAhrefs::rah_ahrefs_rank(
  target   = "ahrefs.com",
  limit    = 2,
  where    = cond_where,
  having   = cond_having,
  order_by = "ahrefs_rank:desc")
# }
