Allow API to include top 5 countries

Please, add a feature to the API that will allow to pull top 5 countries by traffic for target domain.

Currently, I can only check traffic of a specific country which may not be the location where most of traffic for my target domain is coming from.

Hi Marta Zaloha, you can use the "Metrics by country" endpoint for that: https://docs.ahrefs.com/docs/api/site-explorer/operations/get-a-metrics-by-country

Yuri Yeromenko This way I need to spend all my credits to figure out which country the largest portion of traffic is coming from for a target domain...

Marta Zaloha, countries in the response are sorted by traffic, so if you make a request with

limit=5

parameter, you will get top-5 countries by traffic. You can experiment with this endpoint using free test queries: https://docs.ahrefs.com/docs/api/reference/free-test-queries. If it does not work that way for you, please contact our support team.
