The Websites dataset offers a comprehensive analysis of website traffic and user engagement. It encompasses various metrics that provide insights into how visitors interact with websites, both on desktop and mobile platforms. This dataset is crucial for understanding website performance, audience behavior, and digital marketing effectiveness.
Traffic and Engagement are the fundamental data points of Similarweb - allowing our customers to have the digital measures of the world at the palm of their hands.
The Dataset is utilizing multiple tables.
When generating a report, make sure all metrics are supported by same granularity as the requested report.
Data credits are Similarweb's currency. Each result (cell) in a report costs one data credit.
As pricing may vary from report to report you can estimate the total credit amount for each report generated by our Request-Validate endpoint.
*Note - if there are no results, no credits are charged.
Batch API and REST API have different Keys
