I have scraped 10,000 domains with this actor but very often the data does not match what is reported by default by similarweb. Example: aabu.edu.jo Similarweb reports 120,592 global rank where the actor in the attached run url reports 288,848 Similarweb reports an average visit duration of 5:20 where the actor reports 00:05:41 This is just one example but most of the data in the attached run is not correct.

Thanks for the feedback on the issue, I'd like to ask you to keep an eye on similarweb's official data to see if it's changing. The crawled page https://www.similarweb.com/website/(domain)/ was tested in real time and no anomalies were found.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately taking apify.com as an example is not relevant for this issue. I am aware that the similarweb rank can vary even from one day to the other but you are taking the example of apify.com that changed around 4,000 positions in the global ranking in a week time (30 july versus 22 july). This light variation cannot explain how aabu.edu.jo changed 168,000 positions (from 120,592 to 288,848) in a matter of one day which is not possible. Moreover the dicrepancy apply to other metrics such as the average duration time.

Data from similarweb, if updated on a daily basis, the existence of large fluctuations in this case is normal; after all, similarweb data provided by the data is only reference data, and the real access to the data there will be some differences.
