Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Semrush Domain Overview Scraper Scrape the Semrush website for public domain overview SEO metrics, including traffic, rank, authority, backlinks, keywords, country shares, and competitor summaries. ### What does Semrush Domain Overview Scraper do? Semrush Domain Overview Scraper is an SEO data scraper for the Semrush website and public domain overview pages. Add domains, run the actor, and export structured traffic, ranking, authority, backlink, keyword, country-share, and competitor summary fields as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via API for SEO monitoring and competitive intelligence. ### Use cases: who uses it - **SEO teams** tracking traffic and authority snapshots for client domains. - **Growth teams** benchmarking a product against competitors. - **Agencies** preparing recurring domain-performance reports. - **Data teams** feeding public competitive-intelligence metrics into dashboards. ### Input example ```json { "domains": ["openai.com", "github.com", "stripe.com"], "maxItems": 3, "maxConcurrency": 2, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["SHADER"] } } ```` ### Output example ```json { "input": "openai.com", "domain": "openai.com", "url": "https://www.semrush.com/website/openai.com/overview/", "status": "success", "reportingPeriod": "2026-06-01", "visits": { "raw": "508002719", "value": 508002719, "diffPercent": -0.0945 }, "authorityScore": { "raw": "99", "value": 99, "diffPercent": null }, "referringDomains": { "raw": "423708", "value": 423708, "diffPercent": 0.0496 }, "backlinks": { "raw": "64639384", "value": 64639384, "diffPercent": 0.015 }, "topCountries": [{ "country": "United States", "share": 0.1397, "visits": 70981896 }], "error": null } ``` ### Input recipes **Bulk domain snapshot** ```json { "domains": ["openai.com", "github.com", "stripe.com"], "maxItems": 3, "maxConcurrency": 2 } ``` **Competitor benchmark batch** ```json { "domains": ["notion.so", "clickup.com", "asana.com", "monday.com"], "maxItems": 4, "maxConcurrency": 2 } ``` ### Input settings | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `domains` | array of strings | Bare domains or URLs to normalize and fetch. | | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum unique domains to process. | | `maxConcurrency` | integer | Conservative parallelism control; keep low for reliable public pages. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Optional Apify proxy settings. SHADER/datacenter is the default starting route. | | `includeRawHtmlSnippet` | boolean | Adds a short troubleshooting snippet to each row. | | `saveDebugArtifacts` | boolean | Saves run diagnostics to the key-value store. | ### Output fields | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | `input`, `domain`, `url` | Original input, normalized domain, and public Semrush overview URL. | | `status`, `error` | `success`, `no_public_metrics`, `not_found`, `blocked`, `failed`, or `invalid_input`. | | `fetchedAt`, `reportingPeriod` | Collection time and visible Semrush reporting period when available. | | `title`, `description` | Public page metadata. | | `globalRank`, `countryRank`, `categoryRank` | Ranking metrics when present. | | `visits`, `pagesPerVisit`, `avgVisitDuration`, `bounceRate` | Traffic and engagement summaries. | | `organicSearchTraffic`, `paidSearchTraffic`, `organicKeywords` | Public search summary metrics. | | `authorityScore`, `referringDomains`, `backlinks` | Authority and backlink summary counts. | | `topCountries`, `topCategories`, `competitors` | Arrays of public breakdowns when present. | Metric objects include `raw`, normalized numeric `value` when reliable, and `diffPercent` when Semrush exposes a change percentage. ### Pricing This actor uses pay-per-event pricing: - **Start**: $0.005 per run. - **Successful domain overview**: tiered by Apify plan. | Tier | Price per successful row | | --- | ---: | | Free | $0.000093291 | | Bronze | $0.000081123 | | Silver | $0.000063276 | | Gold | $0.000048674 | | Platinum | $0.000032449 | | Diamond | $0.000022714 | Rows with `invalid_input`, `not_found`, `blocked`, `failed`, or `no_public_metrics` statuses are saved for diagnostics but are not charged as successful domain overview results. ### Tips and limits - Start with 3-10 domains to validate your workflow. - Use bare domains such as `example.com`; URLs are accepted and normalized. - Keep concurrency low because public Semrush pages may rate-limit aggressive bulk traffic. - This actor extracts public overview-page summaries only. It does not log in to Semrush or export private account data. ### API usage **JavaScript** ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN }); const run = await client.actor('fetch_cat/semrush-domain-overview-scraper').call({ domains: ['openai.com', 'github.com'], maxItems: 2 }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(items); ``` **Python** ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient('MY_APIFY_TOKEN') run = client.actor('fetch_cat/semrush-domain-overview-scraper').call(run_input={ 'domains': ['openai.com', 'github.com'], 'maxItems': 2, }) items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items print(items) ``` **cURL** ```bash curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fetch_cat~semrush-domain-overview-scraper/runs?token=MY_APIFY_TOKEN' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"domains":["openai.com","github.com"],"maxItems":2}' ``` ### MCP and agents Use the Apify MCP server with this actor tool enabled: ```bash claude mcp add apify 'https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch_cat/semrush-domain-overview-scraper' ``` JSON configuration: ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch_cat/semrush-domain-overview-scraper" } } } ``` Example prompts: - "Run a Semrush overview snapshot for openai.com, github.com, and stripe.com." - "Compare public Semrush authority and backlink metrics for these competitor domains." ### Related actors - [Google Maps Lead Finder](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/google-maps-lead-finder) - [Yelp Scraper](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/yelp-scraper) ### FAQ **Do I need a Semrush account?**\ No. V1 reads public Semrush domain overview pages only. **Will every domain have all fields?**\ No. Semrush may omit metrics for smaller or unavailable domains. The actor returns nullable fields and a status per domain. **Can one failed domain fail the whole run?**\ No. Per-domain failures are saved as rows and the actor continues with remaining domains. ### Support When opening an issue, include: - Actor run ID or run URL. - Full input JSON. - Expected output. - Actual output or status/error row. - Reproducible public URL, for example a Semrush domain overview URL, if one specific domain fails. # Actor input Schema ## `domains` (type: `array`): Bare domains or URLs to normalize and fetch from the public Semrush domain overview page. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of unique normalized domains to process from the input list. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Number of Semrush pages fetched in parallel. Keep low to reduce blocking risk. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional Apify proxy settings.
