SEMrush Free Website Stats Scraper

🔎 SEMrush free website stats scraper

SEMrush Free Website Stats Scraper extracts public website overview metrics from SEMrush for the domains you submit. Paste domains, website URLs, or SEMrush overview URLs, and the Actor saves one clean row per domain with authority score, traffic, organic search traffic, referring domains, backlinks, source URL, and scrape metadata.

Use this SEMrush scraper when you need quick SEO metrics for competitor research, lead scoring, website audits, market maps, prospect lists, dashboards, or recurring checks. The output is built for Apify dataset exports, API workflows, schedules, webhooks, and integrations.

No SEMrush login, cookies, API key, or paid SEMrush account is required from you. For a small first run, keep the prefilled domains and the default Full mode to see the complete row shape before adding a larger list.

✅ What this Actor does

• Accepts domains such as wikipedia.org, full URLs such as https://github.com/features, and SEMrush overview URLs.
• Normalizes each accepted target to a canonical domain.
• Scrapes public SEMrush website overview pages.
• Saves one dataset item per successfully scraped domain.
• Returns authority score, visits, organic search traffic, referring domains, backlinks, visible change percentages, the SEMrush reporting month, and source evidence.
• Lets you choose focused output modes for authority, traffic, or backlink stats.
• Skips domains SEMrush does not expose publicly and continues through the rest of your list.

The Actor is focused on free public SEMrush website stats. It does not scrape logged-in SEMrush dashboards, paid keyword reports, competitor lists, traffic cost, ad spend, backlink lists, or private project data.

📊 Data you can extract

Each dataset item is one SEMrush website stats row. Rows can include:

• type - always semrush_website_stats
• status - ok or partial
• inputIndex - submitted target position
• requestedTarget - original domain or URL you entered
• domain - canonical domain checked on SEMrush
• sourceUrl - public SEMrush overview URL
• scrapedAt - UTC scrape timestamp
• asOf - SEMrush reporting month when shown
• authorityScore - SEMrush Authority Score
• visits and visitsText - estimated monthly visits
• organicSearchTraffic, organicSearchTrafficText, and organicSearchTrafficChange
• referringDomains, referringDomainsText, and referringDomainsChange
• backlinks, backlinksText, and backlinksChange
• missingFields - fields SEMrush did not expose on that page, when the row is partial

Some fields can be empty because SEMrush does not show every metric for every domain.

🚀 How to run it

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Add one domain, website URL, or SEMrush overview URL per line in Domains or URLs.
3. Keep Stats to collect set to Full, or choose a focused mode if you only need authority, traffic, or backlink metrics.
4. Keep Maximum domains small for your first run, then raise it when the output looks right.
5. Run the Actor and open the dataset.

You can export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML, or consume the same rows through the Apify API.

✍️ Input examples

{
	"targets": [
		"wikipedia.org",
		"https://github.com/features",
		"https://www.semrush.com/website/openai.com/overview/"
	],
	"mode": "full",
	"maxResults": 100
}

Use domains when you have a clean list. Use full URLs when your source data already contains website links. Use SEMrush overview URLs when you copied targets from SEMrush.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged for each successfully scraped SEMrush website stats item saved to the dataset.

There is no separate Actor-start charge in this Actor's pricing configuration. Domains that SEMrush does not expose publicly are skipped and are not saved as dataset items.

⚠️ Limits and caveats

• SEMrush updates these public website overview metrics on its own schedule.
• Low-traffic or unsupported domains may not have a public SEMrush overview page.
• Paid SEMrush fields such as traffic cost, ad spend, full keyword lists, competitor details, and backlink lists are not included.
• The Actor returns the free public data SEMrush shows for each domain at run time.
• If a domain page loads but some fields are missing, the row is marked partial and lists the missing fields.

❓ FAQ
