You scrape SimilarWeb with Chocodata's Universal Web Scraper API: point it at any SimilarWeb URL and get the page back as structured JSON. Residential proxies, rotation, and retries are handled for you, with no SimilarWeb-specific setup. The same API key and credits work here as on every dedicated endpoint.

About SimilarWeb

Similarweb is a web-analytics and digital-intelligence service that hosts a public website-profile page for any domain. The free profile exposes estimated monthly visits, global and country rank, traffic sources, audience geography, and top referring and destination sites.

Scraping note: Profile pages render their charts and numbers via client-side JavaScript and rate-limit anonymous viewers, so a rendered fetch with rotating IPs is needed.

Example SimilarWeb page

https://www.similarweb.com/website/example.com/

Pass a URL like this as url= to the Universal Web Scraper API and get it back as JSON.

Fields you can extract from SimilarWeb

check_small global rank check_small country rank check_small category rank check_small total monthly visits check_small bounce rate check_small average visit duration check_small traffic sources breakdown check_small top referring sites

Common use: Estimate a rival site's traffic volume and channel mix by scraping its public Similarweb website profile.

Everything you need to scrape SimilarWeb

Residential proxies keep your own IP out of every request, the JSON comes back clean, and 1,000 free requests a month let you prove similarweb scraper works before you add a card.

SimilarWeb Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape SimilarWeb?

expand_more
Scraping publicly accessible SimilarWeb data is generally legal in the US under the Ninth Circuit's hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling, which held that scraping public web data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It does not override SimilarWeb's own Terms of Service, which are a contract matter, so check those for your use case and comply with data laws such as GDPR. This is general information, not legal advice.

How do I scrape SimilarWeb without getting blocked?

expand_more
You scrape SimilarWeb without getting blocked by sending the URL to the Universal Web Scraper API, which fetches it through rotating residential proxies and retries on soft blocks. Your own IP is never used, so SimilarWeb's anti-bot layer sees ordinary residential traffic instead of a server.

What data does the SimilarWeb Scraper API return?

expand_more
Through the Universal Web Scraper API you get the SimilarWeb page back as JSON: rendered HTML, plain text, or auto-parsed content depending on the parse mode you pass. You choose the URL, Chocodata returns the data.

How much does the SimilarWeb Scraper API cost?

expand_more
The SimilarWeb Scraper API costs nothing to start: the Free plan includes 1,000 requests per month (5,000 credits) across all 235 targets. After that, monthly plans begin at $19, or you top up pay-as-you-go at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. One request is 5 credits, and non-2xx responses are never charged.

Do I need a SimilarWeb account or login?

expand_more
No SimilarWeb login is needed for public pages. You point the Universal Web Scraper API at a publicly accessible SimilarWeb URL with your Chocodata API key; you do not hand over any SimilarWeb credentials. Login-gated content is not supported.
