Frequently asked questions

Ceven integrates the Get Subscription Status tool directly into its health check loop. Before the agent executes a large batch of rank lookups, it checks your remaining credits. If the credit balance is too low to complete the requested task, the agent will pause the workflow and send you a notification rather than letting the API return a hard error. This prevents broken data streams in your reports. You can set up a specific workflow that monitors this status daily and alerts your finance team when it is time to upgrade your SimilarWeb plan to avoid any downtime in your competitive tracking.
The SimilarWeb Digital Rank API relies on a massive dataset of panel data and direct measurements. Because of this, very small websites with extremely low traffic may not have enough data points to generate a global or category rank. In these cases, the API returns a null value or a specific error indicating the domain is not tracked. Ceven handles this by flagging the domain as untracked in your report and suggesting you monitor a larger competitor instead. This ensures your analysis does not treat a missing value as a rank of zero, which would skew your growth metrics.
The data provided by SimilarWeb is updated on a regular cycle, but it is not a second by second stream. Most ranking metrics are refreshed monthly or weekly depending on the tier of your API subscription. Ceven manages this by caching the last known rank for your tracked domains. When you ask for a rank update, the agent pulls the freshest data available from the API. If the data has not changed since the last pull, the agent will inform you that you are looking at the most recent available snapshot to avoid confusion about the update frequency.
The API treats different top level domains as distinct entities. If a competitor moves from a.net to a.com, the historical data for the old domain will not automatically merge with the new one. To handle this, you should use a Ceven workflow to track both domains during the transition period. The agent can pull ranks for both and create a combined view in your dashboard. This allows you to see the decay of the old domain and the rise of the new one without losing the overall picture of the competitors market presence.
Yes, the SimilarWeb Digital Rank API enforces strict rate limits based on your account tier. If a workflow attempts to pull ranks for thousands of domains in a single burst, the API will return a 429 too many requests error. Ceven solves this by implementing an intelligent queuing system. Instead of hitting the API all at once, the agent staggers the requests over a longer window. This ensures that your workflows complete successfully without triggering a lockout, though it may mean that very large reports take a few extra minutes to fully populate.
The Digital Rank API provides a high level global rank which is an aggregate of all traffic sources. It does not allow for fine grained filtering by device type like mobile versus desktop within the basic rank endpoint. If you need device specific insights, you would typically need a different SimilarWeb data product. Ceven provides the aggregate rank as the primary signal for authority. You can combine this with other tools in your stack to get a fuller picture, but the rank itself remains a total measure of the domains visibility across all platforms.
Global rank measures a website against every other site on the internet, while category rank measures it only against sites in the same industry vertical. This is critical because a site might be ranked one millionth globally but be the third most popular site in a niche vertical like industrial pump manufacturing. Ceven allows you to track both metrics simultaneously. By comparing the two, the agent can tell you if a drop in global rank is a general market trend or if you are specifically losing ground to a direct competitor in your own category.
No, the SimilarWeb Digital Rank API only tracks public facing websites that are accessible to the open web. It cannot see traffic or provide rankings for internal corporate intranets, password protected portals, or sites blocked by robots.txt files that prevent crawling. If you attempt to pull data for a private domain, the agent will return a notification that the site is not indexable. This is a fundamental limitation of how the ranking data is collected through public web signals and user panel data across the global internet.
