## 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

*Not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Semrush. This Actor reads the free, public website pages that Semrush publishes for larger domains.*

### 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?".

### What data can it extract?

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `visits`, `visitsChangePercent` | 83426980, -14.39 |
| `authorityScore` | 99 |
| `globalRank`, `countryRank`, `countryRankCountry` | 446, 316, United States |
| `categoryRank`, `categoryRankCategory` | 1, Sporting Goods |
| `visitsLast3Months`, `visitsByDevice6Months` | monthly visits, desktop and mobile |
| `pagesPerVisit`, `avgVisitDuration`, `bounceRatePercent` | 4.51, 06:22, 49.08 |
| `topCountries` | country, share, visits, desktop %, mobile % |
| `directSharePercent`, `topSource`, `topSources` | 46.22, google.com (Google organic) 31.65% |
| `topDestinations` | where visitors go next |
| `aiTrafficVisits`, `chatgptVisits`, `claudeVisits`, `geminiVisits`, `perplexityVisits` | 166612, 152625, 2638, 11349, null |
| `aiPlatforms` | per platform: visits, share, 6-month history |
| `organicSearchTraffic`, `paidSearchTraffic`, `backlinks`, `referringDomains` | 108777460, 1413275, 33718134, 203695 |
| `competitors` (option) | domain, visits, Authority Score, pages per visit, duration, bounce rate, ranks |

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

1. Open the Actor and paste your domains, one per line (`nike.com` or full URLs both work).
2. Tick **Add competitors** if you also want the competitor list.
3. Click **Start**. Each domain takes a second or two.
4. 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

```json
{
    "domains": ["nike.com", "hubspot.com", "notion.so"],
    "includeCompetitors": true,
    "maxConcurrency": 5
}
```

### Output

One row per domain. Download it as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or fetch it from the dataset API.

```json
{
    "input": "nike.com",
    "domain": "nike.com",
    "dataMonth": "2026-09",
    "visits": 83426980,
    "visitsChangePercent": -14.39,
    "authorityScore": 99,
    "globalRank": 446,
    "countryRank": 316,
    "countryRankCountry": "United States",
    "categoryRank": 1,
    "categoryRankCategory": "Sporting Goods",
    "pagesPerVisit": 4.51,
    "avgVisitDurationSec": 382,
    "avgVisitDuration": "06:22",
    "bounceRatePercent": 49.08,
    "visitsLast3Months": [{ "month": "2026-09", "visits": 83426980 }, { "month": "2026-08", "visits": 97451936 }, { "month": "2026-07", "visits": 99605289 }],
    "topCountries": [{ "countryCode": "US", "country": "United States", "sharePercent": 36.57, "visits": 30507483, "desktopPercent": 34.96, "mobilePercent": 65.04 }],
    "directSharePercent": 46.22,
    "topSource": { "source": "google.com", "channel": "Google organic", "sharePercent": 31.65, "visits": 8653037, "previousVisits": 8129281 },
    "aiTrafficVisits": 166612,
    "chatgptVisits": 152625,
    "claudeVisits": 2638,
    "geminiVisits": 11349,
    "perplexityVisits": null,
    "competitors": [{ "domain": "footlocker.com", "visits": 12257461, "authorityScore": 68, "pagesPerVisit": 3.35, "bounceRatePercent": 59.29 }],
    "error": null
}
```

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 and `www.` 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](https://apify.com/tenfoldfleet/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.

### Disclaimer

This Actor collects publicly available data. Semrush is a trademark of its owner, and this Actor has no connection to it. Traffic figures are third-party estimates; check them before making decisions that depend on exact numbers.

# Actor input Schema

## `domains` (type: `array`):

Websites to look up, as bare domains (nike.com) or URLs (https://www.nike.com/us/). One domain = one result ($0.006). Semrush's public pages cover mostly larger sites: domains it has no page for come back with an error and are free. On the Apify free plan, the $5 monthly credit covers about 800 domains.

## `includeCompetitors` (type: `boolean`):

Also fetch each domain's competitor list with their visits, Authority Score, pages per visit, visit duration, bounce rate and ranks. Adds $0.004 per domain, charged only when competitors are found.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many domains to look up in parallel. Capped at 10 to stay under Semrush's rate limits.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify datacenter proxy is used by default. Switch to residential only if many lookups fail.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "nike.com",
    "hubspot.com",
    "notion.so"
  ],
  "includeCompetitors": false,
  "maxConcurrency": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

    "hubspot.com",
    "notion.so"
  ]
}' |
apify call tenfoldfleet/semrush-api-domain-traffic --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
