Overview

This node interacts with the Outscraper API to retrieve data from Similarweb for specified domains or websites. It is useful for users who want to gather web analytics, traffic insights, or other related data from Similarweb by providing domain names or URLs. The node supports both synchronous and asynchronous requests, allowing for flexible data retrieval workflows. For example, a user can input a list of websites to get traffic statistics or market analysis data from Similarweb.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve traffic data for apple.com and google.com synchronously.
  2. Make an asynchronous request to Similarweb and specify a webhook URL to receive the results once the task is completed.

Properties

Webhook URL to which Outscraper will send a POST request once the asynchronous task is finished.
Additional Fields Optional parameters to customize the request, including specific fields to return and whether to execute the request as a UI task.

Output

JSON

  • data - The JSON response data returned from the Similarweb API for the queried domains or websites.

Dependencies

  • Outscraper API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has access to the Similarweb resource on Outscraper.
  • If asynchronous requests are used, verify the webhook URL is reachable and correctly set up to receive POST callbacks.
  • Check network settings if using a proxy or if SSL certificate validation is disabled, as these can affect connectivity and security.
  • Timeout errors may occur if the server is slow to respond; consider increasing the timeout setting if needed.
