On the new API's page:

For Paid Users: Please choose the plan that matches your current usage.
For Free Users: Please subscribe to the free "BASIC" plan.
Update Your API Integration
After subscribing to the new API, you'll need to update your code with the new endpoint and authorization credentials. The easiest way to ensure you have the correct settings is to copy the code snippet directly from the new API page.
Recommended Approach - Copy Complete Code Snippet:
- After subscribing to the new API, visit any endpoint page on the "SEO Traffic & Authority" API
- Look for the "Code Snippets" section (usually on the right side or below the endpoint description)
- Select your preferred programming language (cURL, JavaScript, Python, etc.)
- Copy the entire code snippet - it will contain the correct
X-RapidAPI-Hostand your new authorization credentials - Replace your existing API call code with this new snippet
What's Changing - Host Replacement:
At its core, you're changing from the old API host to the new one. Here's what the main change looks like:
Old API Host:
ahrefs-dr-rank-checker.p.rapidapi.comNew API Host:
seo-traffic-authority.p.rapidapi.comExample: Getting Your Code Snippet
Instead of manually updating individual values, copy the complete code snippet from RapidAPI to ensure all credentials are correct.
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://seo-traffic-authority.p.rapidapi.com/url-metrics?url=medium.com' \
--header 'x-rapidapi-host: seo-traffic-authority.p.rapidapi.com' \
--header 'x-rapidapi-key: YOUR_NEW_CREDENTIALS'Important: Your authorization credentials may be different from your previous API depending on your RapidAPI account setup. Always copy the complete snippet from the new API page to ensure compatibility.

Welcome Credit & Processing Timeline
Our #1 priority is making this transition financially seamless and secure. Any current paid subscriber who migrates to a paid plan on the new API will receive a welcome credit equivalent to one month of your previous plan's value.
How We Track Your Migration
We are proactively monitoring new subscriptions and comparing them against our list of current paid users to automatically track as many migrations as possible.
However, to guarantee your credit is applied promptly and to create a clear confirmation for your records, please follow this simple verification process:
⚠️ Important: No Double Refunds Policy
Welcome credits are only available to users following this official migration process. If you have already requested a refund for your previous API subscription through RapidAPI support or other channels, you are not eligible for additional welcome credits.
📋 Migration Confirmation Process
Subscribe to the New API
Go to our new API listing and subscribe to your preferred paid plan.
Email Us to Confirm
Send a quick confirmation email to secure your spot on our official migrated users list.
Email Confirmation Details
Send your confirmation email to:
Required Subject Line:
MIGRATION CONFIRMATION - [Your RapidAPI Email]Replace [Your RapidAPI Email] with your actual email address
In your email, please include:
- Your RapidAPI account email address
- If you used a different email/account for the new API, mention both old and new addresses
- Any additional context (optional)
We will reply to confirm you're on the official list and handle the entire credit process with RapidAPI on your behalf.
Processing Timeline & Eligibility
To ensure every migrated user is accounted for accurately, we process all welcome credits in a single, coordinated batch from our confirmed migration list.
Processing Timeline
We will submit the complete confirmed migration list for refund processing to RapidAPI before the end of August 2025.
From there, the actual time it takes for the credit to appear on your statement depends on the standard processing times of multiple parties, including RapidAPI, their payment processor, and your bank or credit card company. We appreciate your patience as all parties work to process the request.
Important Eligibility Requirements:
• Welcome credits are only available to users who maintain their previous subscription through this official migration process
• No Double Refunds: Users who have separately requested refunds through RapidAPI or other channels for the previous service are not eligible for additional welcome credits
• Must send confirmation email to migrate@ayushdata.com to be included in the official migration list
• Must subscribe to any paid plan on the new API (you can choose the plan that best fits your current needs)
Dual-Track System Benefits
API Response Compatibility
100% Response Format Compatibility
The new API returns identical response formats to the previous service. No changes to your data parsing logic are required.
What Remains Identical:
- • JSON response structure
- • Field names and data types
- • Error response formats
- • Rate limiting behavior
Testing Recommendation:
Run parallel tests with sample data to confirm your existing data processing logic works unchanged with the new API.
