Managed execution
Crawlora's SimilarWeb API is designed around SimilarWeb's own data surface, not a generic fetch endpoint — combining endpoint-specific request logic, managed infrastructure, parsing, normalization, billing, and Playground-tested examples.
Request behavior for SimilarWeb endpoints is tuned to the platform's own response shapes and edge cases.
Supported SimilarWeb endpoints can use managed proxy routing to improve reliability and reduce infrastructure work.
Dynamic SimilarWeb pages can be routed through managed browser instances where JavaScript rendering is required.
Challenge pages and unusable SimilarWeb responses are detected and surfaced clearly, not silently returned as empty data.
SimilarWeb results are returned as documented JSON instead of raw HTML.
Test the same SimilarWeb route from Docs and Playground before production integration.
Coverage map
These cards are generated from the active endpoint catalog, so the landing page reflects the same API surface used by Docs and Playground.
/similarweb/search
/similarweb/web/{domain}
Endpoint catalog
/similarweb/searchReturns SimilarWeb data for a given query (typically a domain).
/similarweb/web/{domain}Returns traffic and engagement data from SimilarWeb for a specific domain.
Response notes
- Requests that exceed your plan's credit or rate limits are rejected before the lookup runs. The `402`/`429` body reports `reason` — one of `insufficient_credits`, `daily_credit_limit`, `rate_limited`, `ip_rate_limited` — along with your position against that limit and `reset_scope`, the window that clears it: one of `daily`, `monthly`, `minute`, `ip_window`. This contract is shared by every credit-billed endpoint; see [Billing Rejections](billing-rejections.md) for the full field list and examples. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "Version": 1, "SiteName": "openai.com", "Description": "We believe our research will eventually lead to artificial general intelligence.", "TopCountryShares": [ { "Country": 840, "CountryCode": "US", "Value": 0.2119 } ], "Title": "OpenAI", "Engagments": { "BounceRate": "0.478", "Month": "7", "Year": "2026", "PagePerVisit": "2.31", "Visits": "128455321", "TimeOnSite": "103.5" }, "AiTrafficDetails": { "TotalVisits": 40471810.45, "ReferralTraffic": 0.20555688559222743, "TopPrompts": { "Status": 0, "ErrorMessage": "", "Prompts": [ "What are the main differences between current large language model architectures?" ] }, "Traffic": { "Split": [ {"Name": "chatgpt.com", "Rank": 1, "Icon": "/image?url=chatgpt.com"} ], "Distribution": { "Boundary": "<100M", "Chatbots": [ {"Name": "chatgpt.com", "Icon": "/image?url=chatgpt.com", "Value": 84.77} ], "Chart": [ { "Name": "chatgpt.com", "Icon": "/image?url=chatgpt.com", "History": [ {"Date": "2026-07-01", "Value": 84.77} ] } ] } } }, "DataSource": "extension_api" } } ```

How to scrape SimilarWeb
SimilarWeb's own API is a contract-gated enterprise product. Crawlora's 2 SimilarWeb endpoints cover the public surface instead: a search that resolves a query — usually a domain — and a web-info call that returns SimilarWeb's public data for that site as normalized JSON.
Send a query, typically a domain, to the search endpoint to confirm SimilarWeb has a profile for it.
The web endpoint takes a domain and returns SimilarWeb's public data for that site as normalized JSON.
Iterate a list of competitor domains through the same call to build a side-by-side table instead of reading one profile at a time.
FAQ
No. Crawlora is not affiliated with SimilarWeb. Its official API is a paid, contract-gated enterprise product; these endpoints read the public SimilarWeb surface and return it as JSON, which suits research and enrichment rather than licensed redistribution.
A bare domain such as example.com. Use the search endpoint with a free-text q if you are not sure a profile exists, and the web endpoint with the domain once you do.
They are SimilarWeb's modelled estimates, not measured analytics from the site itself. Treat them as directional for competitive comparison, and never as a substitute for a site's own analytics or server logs.
