The world's most-visited websites ranked by estimated monthly organic search traffic — with category, traffic figure and month-over-month change. Global or per-country.

Why use this actor

  • Ranked list of the biggest sites on the web, by estimated search traffic
  • Month-over-month change on every row — spot who is climbing and who is sliding
  • Category labels (Reference, Entertainment, Online Communities, …) for slicing the market
  • Per-country rankings as well as the global list
  • Traffic given both as published (4B) and as a plain number (4000000000) so you can sort and chart it
  • No account and no key required

How it works

  1. You pick the global ranking, or one or more countries.
  2. The actor reads the ranking pages, 100 websites per page, for as many pages as you allow.
  3. Each website becomes one row with its rank, category, traffic and change.
  4. Results stream into your dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Ranks stay true across pages — page 2 starts at 101, not back at 1 — so you can pull several pages and still sort the whole list correctly.

"countries": [],
"maxItems": 200,

Output

Real sample from a live run:

{
"_input": "global",
"_source": "S1-ranking",
"_scrapedAt": "2026-08-26T09:02:31Z",
"recordType": "WEBSITE_RANK",
"rank": 1,
"domain": "wikipedia.org",

"organicTrafficText": "4B",
"organicTraffic": 4000000000,
"trafficChangeText": "+85.6M",
"trafficChange": 85600000
}

Notes and limits

  • This is the public ranking only. Backlink counts, domain rating and keyword tools are not included — those sit behind a separate check on the site and are deliberately out of scope here.
  • Traffic figures are estimates published by Ahrefs, not measured analytics.
  • Country rankings restart at rank 1; the global list and each country list are separate rankings.
  • A page that returns nothing produces an error row explaining why, so a gap never silently looks like an empty ranking.
