Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results for a domain?

Similarweb may not have data for very small or new domains. Check the domain manually on Similarweb to confirm data exists.

The run is failing with a timeout error.

Increase the timeout setting in the Actor's run configuration, or reduce the number of domains per run. Using proxies can also help.

I'm getting blocked by Similarweb.

Enable proxy configuration in the input and use residential proxies. Also reduce the number of concurrent requests.

The data seems outdated.

Similarweb updates its data periodically. Run the Actor again later to get the latest metrics.
