## Pricing

from $0.15 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

**Semrush API Scraper** - Paste domains, get Semrush rank, traffic, backlinks, keywords and ChatGPT visits in one row each.

### What does Semrush API Scraper do?

One flat row per domain with 6-month visit, traffic and device history, top keywords, competitors, traffic by country, traffic sources and AI-chatbot visits - no Semrush plan or API key.

- Sales teams - qualify leads by traffic and rank
- SEO - track monthly visit changes by schedule
- Researchers - see how much AI chatbot traffic a site gets

### Why this Semrush API Scraper?

Tools that need accounts or keys break when a session dies, and thin single-field ones return too little to act on. This Semrush API Scraper checks every run and tells you plainly when a page could not be read, instead of returning empty or wrong rows.

### Data you get from Semrush API Scraper

Every result is one flat row with these fields (values from a real run):

| Field | Example |

| `domain` | google.com |
| `brandName` | Google |

| `categories` | \["Mass Media", "Online Services", "Publishing"] |
| `globalRank` | 1 |
| `countryRank` | 1 |
| `country` | United States |
| `categoryRank` | 1 |
| `authorityScore` | 100 |
| `monthlyVisits` | 108899227055 |
| `visitsChangePct` | 0.03 |
| `bounceShare` | 0.3218 |
| `pagesPerVisit` | 6.6669 |
| `timeOnSiteSeconds` | 801 |
| `organicTraffic` | 4740387961 |
| `paidTraffic` | 26790259 |

### How to use Semrush API Scraper

1. Press **Start** - the form already holds an example that works.
2. Put in your own input (see the fields on the Input tab).
3. Run it once, or put it on an **Apify Schedule** (with **only new** on, where the form has it) to get just what is new every day; add a **webhookUrl** to get each run's rows sent to your own system, Zapier, Make or Slack.
4. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or send them to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, the Apify API or an AI agent (Apify MCP server).

One flat row per result.

### Built for pipelines

- **Field names never change** - fixes and new features only ever add fields, so your code keeps working.
- **Every row has the same shape** - a missing value is `null`, never a dropped field.
- **A plain status line** on every run - how many results, and on a problem what to change in the input - for your logs and for AI agents.
- **Runs on its own** - put it on an Apify Schedule and add a `webhookUrl`: each run's rows go straight to your system, Zapier, Make or Slack.

### How much does Semrush API Scraper cost?

You pay only per result (pay per event) - no monthly fee, no minimum, and the price per result is lower on Apify's Bronze, Silver and Gold plans. The exact price is on the **Pricing** tab. Apify's free plan credit is enough to try it on real input.

| You want | What you pay for |
|---|---|
| A quick test with the example | a few results |
| A daily scheduled run | only the rows that run returns |
| A big one-off export | the results delivered - set a maximum in the input |

### FAQ

**Does Semrush API Scraper need a login, cookies or an API key?** No. It reads public pages only.

**Can I run Semrush API Scraper on a schedule?** Yes - with Apify Schedules; each run returns fresh rows.

**Can I call it from Python, JavaScript or an AI agent?** Yes - through the Apify API, the Apify client libraries or the Apify MCP server.

**Is it legal?** It collects only data anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for using it within the source site's terms and data protection law (GDPR, CCPA).

**What if the site blocks a request?** The run retries from a fresh connection and, if it still cannot read the page, stops with a clear message - never with made-up rows.

**Do I need proxies?** No setup needed - Semrush API Scraper uses Apify Proxy by default where the site needs it.

### Troubleshooting

- **No results:** check the input (a public URL or a search term that returns results in a normal browser), then try the example input once.
- **Fewer results than expected:** raise the maximum in the input; some sites show only a part of their data without logging in, and Semrush API Scraper never logs in.
- **The run stopped with a message:** the message says what the site answered; run it again later or with fewer items.

# Actor input Schema

## `domains` (type: `array`):

A whole list of domains goes in at once and you get one row each. Example: \["google.com", "github.com"]. Full URLs also work.

## `listLimit` (type: `integer`):

Top keywords, competitors, countries and sources kept per domain (1-20)

## `useApifyProxy` (type: `boolean`):

Route requests through Apify Proxy

## `proxyGroups` (type: `array`):

Optional Apify proxy groups to use, e.g. RESIDENTIAL. Leave empty for the default.

## `onlyNew` (type: `boolean`):

Schedule it weekly and turn this on: you get only rows that are new or changed since the last run with the same input (changeType new/changed). Off returns everything.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "google.com",
    "github.com",
    "ebay.com"
  ],
  "listLimit": 5,
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "onlyNew": false
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

All result rows (open as table, JSON, CSV or Excel).

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "domains": [
        "google.com",
        "github.com",
        "ebay.com"
    ],
    "listLimit": 5,
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "onlyNew": false
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("h1018y/anvil-semrush-search-results").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "domains": [
        "google.com",
        "github.com",
        "ebay.com",
    ],
    "listLimit": 5,
    "useApifyProxy": True,
    "onlyNew": False,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("h1018y/anvil-semrush-search-results").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,h1018y/anvil-semrush-search-results"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
