## 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`).

# README

## Semrush Website Traffic Scraper

Or switch to the **competitors** report for each site's competitor list with their ranks, visits and engagement.

- **Competitors report** - every competitor with Authority Score, ranks, visits and engagement.

### Use cases

  "trafficSources": {

  }
}
```

(Lists shortened to one entry: `visitsHistory` has 6 months, `topKeywords`, `topCountries`, `competitors`, `trafficSources` and `aiTraffic` several entries each.) The `competitors` report returns the same header (ranks, visits) and a `competitors` list, each competitor with its Authority Score, ranks, visits and engagement.

The key-value store also holds `ERRORS` - domains Semrush has no public page for, or that failed, with the reason. These are **not billed**.

### Pricing

**$1.20 per 1000 domains.** You pay only for domains that returned data.

### Notes

- Semrush publishes these public pages for about 200,000 of the most visited sites. A smaller site has no page and is reported in `ERRORS` (not charged).
- The figures are Semrush's monthly estimates (`dataDate` is the month they describe).
- This actor is not affiliated with Semrush.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "domains": [
    "github.com"
  ]
}' |
apify call scrapeunblocker/semrush-website-traffic-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapeunblocker/semrush-website-traffic-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
