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
- You pick the global ranking, or one or more countries.
- The actor reads the ranking pages, 100 websites per page, for as many pages as you allow.
- Each website becomes one row with its rank, category, traffic and change.
- 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.
Input
{"countries": [],"maxItems": 200,"maxPages": 2,"proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }}
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
countries | array | Country wording from the site address, e.g. united-states, india. Empty = global ranking. |
maxItems | integer | Maximum websites collected across the run. Default 200. |
maxPages | integer | Ranking pages per country; each page lists 100 websites. Default 2. |
proxyConfiguration | object | Optional for small runs. |
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","category": "Reference","organicTrafficText": "4B","organicTraffic": 4000000000,"trafficChangeText": "+85.6M","trafficChange": 85600000}
Top of that run:
| rank | domain | category | traffic | change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | wikipedia.org | Reference | 4B | +85.6M |
| 2 | youtube.com | Entertainment | 2.4B | +39M |
| 3 | instagram.com | Online Communities | 1.9B | +189M |
| 5 | google.com | Internet & Telecom | 1.3B | +26.9M |
| 6 | chatgpt.com | Computers & Electronics | 1.3B | −21.8M |
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
rank | integer | Position in the ranking (absolute across pages). |
domain | string | The website. |
category | string | Category label, where one is published. |
organicTrafficText | string | Traffic as shown, e.g. 4B. |
organicTraffic | integer | The same figure as a plain number, for sorting. |
trafficChangeText | string | Change as shown, e.g. +85.6M. |
trafficChange | integer | The change as a plain number (negative when falling). |
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.
