How to Access the Data Exporter
To access the Data Exporter, simply login in to Similarweb and select Data Exporter from our list of solutions available from the sidebar menu.
Next, click ‘Get Started’ to continue to the Data Exporter, or ‘Gain Access’ and we will contact you with all the information necessary.
Build a Data Report
To begin using the exporter, you'll start by setting up your first report.
You may choose to build a report with a Customizable Template for getting started quickly, or Create your report from scratch. Both options allow you to choose the parameters of your data report, including the report type, website domains, keywords, apps and desired metrics as well as geo or date filters.
-
To begin, select Create a report from scratch
-
Select a Report Type from the drop down menu on the left hand side. There are several report types to choose from. Select the report that aligns with your needs and workflow. The report types available will be based on your subscription.
For example, if you're looking for website traffic data, select the "Traffic and Engagement" report type. If you're interested in Keywords data, select the "Keywords" or "Site Keywords" report type.
-
Provide input: Based on the report type selected, you'll be prompted to provide inputs on which the analysis will be conducted. (e.g. website domains, apps, or keywords etc) Information can be entered manually or uploaded via CSV file.
For website domains, select whether to include subdomains in your report (You can also change your selection at the checkout stage).
Important: The CSV should list domain-names in only one column to ensure data is pulled properly. You can check your report in real-time using the preview window on the right.
-
Set filters: Select the relevant countries, granularity and timeframe to apply for your report. Note that the filter setting will vary depending on the report type.
-
Select the desired metrics: Choose the metrics you wish to include in your report. Your selections are added in real-time in the preview screen for both 'Table' and 'API' views.
Note: The request cost at the top of your report will update as you populate the desired metrics. You can monitor as you build your report to ensure you don't exceed your remaining credits.
Export Your Data Report
It’s time to download our report! Clicking ‘Export’ will open a summary of our report configurations, along with an option to select the report format and whether to include subdomains as mentioned earlier -
Before downloading the report it’s important to verify the estimated number of data credits required to run this report - In this example, we are using a total of 56 data credits since we’re analyzing only 2 domains.

Download and Share your Report
