Connecting Ahrefs with Whatagraph allows you to monitor SEO-related metrics: such as domain and URL ratings, backlinks, organic keywords, and traffic patterns. To use the integration effectively, it’s important to understand:
Which report types support breakdowns by Date (i.e., data can be shown per day/week/month).
Which report types are static, meaning they show only the current/latest value.
How this affects widget behaviour and dashboard design

What This Means for Your Widgets & Dashboards
Report types(marked ❌ above) will display only one row or value in your widget. If you apply a date breakdown (daily/weekly/monthly) to such a report, the widget may return no data or show only the latest value, because the underlying Ahrefs endpoint does not include time-series data.
Performance reports (marked ✅ above) include historical data, allowing you to display trends over time, such as daily/weekly/monthly breakdowns, depending on the endpoint.
Summary
When using Ahrefs data in Whatagraph:
Most report types deliver the latest data only; hence, there is no date breakdown.
Only the “Performance”-style reports (those with history report types) provide time-series data and support date breakdowns.
Understanding which report types allow time-based breakdowns ensures you choose the right widget formats and set correct expectations for your reports.
