How to Scrape Similarweb — Free No-Code Guide (2026)

If you need to pull Similarweb data at scale and there's no clean official API, this guide shows how to export it to JSON, CSV or Excel in a couple of minutes — with no scraping code to maintain.

We'll use the Similarweb Scraper – Website Traffic & Analytics Data, a hosted scraper on the Apify platform. You only need a free Apify token — no Similarweb login, no proxies, no reverse-engineering.

What data you get

Each run returns structured records with fields like:

  • rankNum
  • domain
  • category
  • rankChangeNum
  • avgVisitDurationSec
  • pagesPerVisitNum
  • bounceRateNum
  • listCategory
  • listCountry
  • totalVisitsNum
  • globalRankNum
  • countryRankNum
  • topTrafficSource

Results are paginated automatically — you can pull thousands of rows per run and export them as JSON, CSV, Excel, JSONL or XML.

Option 1 — No code (Apify Console)

  1. Open the actor: https://apify.com/logiover/similarweb-scraper
  2. Click Try for free.
  3. Leave the input empty for a broad sample, or set the fields below.
  4. Run it, then Export the dataset as CSV/JSON/Excel.

Option 2 — Node.js

npm install similarweb-scraper
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
const scrape = require("similarweb-scraper");

(async () => {
  const items = await scrape({}, { token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
  console.log(items.length, "results");
  console.log(items[0]);
})();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Option 3 — Python

pip install apify-similarweb-scraper
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
from similarweb_scraper import scrape

items = scrape({}, token="YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
print(len(items), "results")
print(items[0])
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Common use cases

  • Build a fresh Similarweb dataset for analysis or dashboards
  • Feed Similarweb records into your own app, CRM or spreadsheet
  • Monitor changes on a schedule and get alerts via webhooks
  • Enrich leads or research with up-to-date Similarweb data

Automation & export

Because it runs on Apify, you can schedule it, trigger it via webhook, and pipe results into Google Sheets, S3, Zapier, Make or n8n. Every run's dataset is downloadable as CSV, JSON, JSONL, Excel or XML.

FAQ
