Why it stays working

Block resistance. Uses a fast HTTP tier with JA4+ fingerprinting. If blocked, automatically falls back to a stealth browser layer to pass Cloudflare and Akamai detection.

Self-healing parser. Automatically recalibrates if SimilarWeb changes its internal JSON structure—no manual maintenance needed.

SWR caching. Serving stale data instantly while refreshing in the background to cut proxy costs.

Inputs

Field	Type	Default	Description
domains	string[]	—	Domains to query, e.g. ["france24.com"]
simplifiedOutput	boolean	true	Returns the enriched marketing report
includeRaw	boolean	false	Attach the original 1:1 API response to every result
maxAgeDays	integer	14	Max cache age before forcing a fresh scrape
swrGraceDays	integer	7	Days to serve stale data while refreshing
stealthMode	boolean	true	Enable browser fallback on block

Pricing

Estimated cost per 1,000 domains: ~$1.05 (proxy + compute). SimilarWeb's own API costs $400–1,000/month for equivalent access.
