## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability anyapi-ahrefs-backlinks-lookup-44c633f9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the backlinks for example.com using Ahrefs data — I want to see the referring domains, anchor text, and link types without having to pay for a full Ahrefs subscription.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Ahrefs-quality backlink data on a pay-per-request basis without committing to an Ahrefs subscription. Ideal for agents that only occasionally need backlink lookups, or for cost-sensitive pipelines that run sporadic SEO audits. If you need bulk or continuous backlink monitoring at scale, a direct Ahrefs subscription may be more cost-effective.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed target URL returns an error response
- Ahrefs data unavailable for very new or obscure domains resulting in empty results
- Insufficient USDC balance causes payment failure and blocked request
- Rate limiting or upstream Ahrefs API downtime returns a 5xx error
- Missing required parameters in POST body returns a 400 validation error
