Similarweb Scraper — Website Traffic, Rank & AI Traffic

Look up any website's monthly visits, engagement, rank and traffic sources — plus the share of its traffic now arriving from AI assistants and the actual prompts people asked before they landed. Bulk domains, clean JSON/CSV, no API key.

Traffic estimates tell you how big a site is. This Actor also tells you something almost nobody is measuring yet: how much of that traffic comes from ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity and friends, and what people were asking when they arrived.

What you get per domain

Field	What it tells you
visits	Estimated visits in the latest full month
monthly_visits_history	The last few months, so you can see direction, not just size
global_rank / country_rank / category_rank	Where the site sits globally, in its country, and in its category
category	The category it is ranked in
bounce_rate	Share of visits that leave without a second page
pages_per_visit	Depth of the average visit
avg_visit_duration_seconds	Time on site, in seconds
traffic_sources	Direct, referrals, organic and paid search, organic and paid social, mail, display ads, affiliate — and generative_ai
top_countries	Country split with each country's share
top_keywords	Keywords driving traffic, with volume, CPC and estimated value
ai_traffic_share	Fraction of all traffic arriving from AI assistants
ai_traffic_visits	How many visits that actually is
ai_sources	Which assistants send it, ranked (chatgpt.com, grok.com, perplexity.ai …)
ai_top_prompts	Real prompts people asked before landing on the site
screenshot_url	Current homepage screenshot
snapshot_date	The month this data describes
data_status	ok or no_data — see below

A run summary is written to the key-value store with counts, retries and the billing breakdown.

Why the AI fields matter

Assistants have quietly become a referral channel. For a payments company we measured 5.5% of all traffic arriving from AI, and the top prompts read like: "How can I integrate an online payment processing system into my website to accept credit cards?"

That is demand, phrased by the buyer, attached to a site that is already capturing it. Use it to find which competitors AI recommends, which questions send real traffic, and whether your own AI share is growing or flat.

Use cases

• Competitor sizing — visits, engagement and direction for a whole competitor set in one run.
• AI visibility — who is winning AI-referred traffic in your category, and for which questions.
• Lead qualification — filter a prospect list by real traffic before anyone spends time on it.
• Content strategy — the top prompts are keyword research written in the customer's own words.
• M&A and investment screening — traffic trend and engagement quality on any target.
• Media planning — country split and traffic mix before you buy placements.

Pricing

Pay per event. No monthly fee, no setup fee, no minimum.

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.001 per run
Domain	$0.002 per domain — $2.00 per 1,000

You are only charged for domains that return real traffic data. Unknown domains, sites too small to have measurable traffic (data_status: "no_data") and outright failures are never billed. 100 domains costs $0.201.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. Add domains and run.

Why must I leave the residential proxy on? The upstream refuses datacenter and direct traffic after a handful of requests. The Actor rotates residential addresses automatically to keep a bulk run at full success — changing the proxy setting will cause most lookups to fail, and the run logs a warning if you do.

What does no_data mean? The domain is unknown or too small to have measurable traffic. You still get the row so you can see it was checked, and you are not charged for it.

How fresh is it? Monthly. snapshot_date tells you exactly which month each row describes.

Are the AI prompts real? Yes — they are the prompts associated with AI-referred visits to that site. Some domains have none, in which case ai_top_prompts is an empty array.

How many domains per run? Up to 500. A 150-domain run takes about 90 seconds.

Can I export it? JSON, CSV, Excel, or straight into n8n, Make or Zapier via the Apify API.
