What does Semrush API Domain Traffic do?
Semrush API Domain Traffic turns a list of domains into a clean table of monthly website traffic numbers taken from the public Semrush website pages. For each domain you get visits, the Authority Score, global, country and category rank, a 3-month visits trend, pages per visit, average visit duration, bounce rate, the top countries with their desktop and mobile split, the top traffic source and the share of direct traffic, and AI traffic: visits from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini (and Perplexity when listed) with a 6-month history.
Turn on one option and each domain also comes with its competitors, each with visits, Authority Score, pages per visit, visit duration and bounce rate.
It works like a small Semrush traffic API without a Semrush subscription or API units: call it from the Apify API, a schedule, Make, Zapier, n8n or an AI agent over MCP, and get JSON back.
Why use it?
- Competitor benchmarking: compare visits, engagement and Authority Score for a whole market in one run.
- Lead scoring and prospecting: rank a list of company domains by traffic size before outreach.
- AI search tracking: see how many visits a site gets from ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, month by month.
- Investment and M&A screening: check a target's traffic trend and country mix in seconds.
- Agent workflows: give an AI agent a fast way to answer "how much traffic does this site get?".

The traffic source fields are what the public page shows: the direct share plus the leading referrers. It is not a full channel breakdown (search, social, email and so on).
How to get a domain's traffic
- Open the Actor and paste your domains, one per line (
nike.comor full URLs both work). - Tick Add competitors if you also want the competitor list.
- Click Start. Each domain takes a second or two.
- Download the results or read them from the API.
How much does it cost?
- $6 per 1,000 domains ($0.006 per domain), AI traffic included.
- Competitors add-on: $4 per 1,000 domains ($0.004), only when the option is on and competitors are found.
- Free: invalid domains, domains Semrush has no page for, and lookups that fail.
- On the Apify free plan, the $5 monthly credit covers about 800 domains.
Input
Output
One row per domain. Download it as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or fetch it from the dataset API.
A domain without data comes back as { "domain": "...", "errorType": "not-covered", "error": "..." } and is not charged. errorType is one of invalid-domain, not-covered or fetch-failed.
Tips
- Only larger domains are covered. Semrush publishes these free pages for sites with meaningful traffic. Small or new sites usually return
not-covered, which costs nothing. - Use bare root domains (
hubspot.com). Paths andwww.are removed for you. - Numbers are monthly estimates for the month in
dataMonth, not analytics data from the site itself. - Need organic keywords, search traffic per keyword or traffic value? Use our Website Traffic Checker instead.
FAQ
Do I need a Semrush account or API key?
No. The Actor reads public pages only, with no login.
How fresh is the data?
It matches what the public page shows, usually the previous full month. The dataMonth and lastUpdated fields say which.
Why is the traffic source field not a full channel split?
The public page only states the direct share and the top referring sites, so that is what the Actor returns, as directSharePercent, topSource and topSources.
Can I run it on a schedule or from an AI agent?
Yes. Use Apify schedules, the API, or the Apify MCP server.
