Discover Where Your Visitors Came From With This API
Having an understanding of visitor traffic statistics to your website or blog is essential; to determine your marketing strategies, improve them and bring in more visitors who will convert into customers.
Imagine that a customer arrives at your local business and pays for your product or service. Wouldn’t you like to know how it got to your business?
Now imagine that you put ads on the radio, in the newspaper, in local magazines, you distributed flyers; thanks to that not only one customer came but many customers and they are buying what you offer. But… Which of all the publicity you did worked the best? Wouldn’t you like to know which ad referred you the most customers?
Now imagine another situation: No customers come to your business, no one visits you and therefore there are no sales. What’s going on? Why don’t people visit your business if you have the best product and offer the best service?
These same situations happen with your website. The difference is that in your local business you realize if you had visitors; while you don’t know about your website because you can’t see them.
So… Who Visits My Page?
How to know who visits my web page? Where they are coming from (traffic sources)? How they are behaving, that is, how do they browse? What page do they visit? And what actions do they take to understand how you are doing and what you can improve? There are several tools that allow you to review this data; some are more advanced than others. The best tool to start using as soon as possible is the Site Traffic API.
With this tool you can not only measure the number of visitors to your website but also if they are new visitors or returning visitors, you can see the time they spent on your website and the pages they visited. You can also see the traffic sources or where these visitors are coming from as well as their location by Country, State, Territory, or City.
You can see the keywords that they put in the search engines to find you and the technology they are using to visit your web page (if it is a regular computer or a mobile device), you can know the browser and even the network or company that provides the service from the Internet.
With all this information you can know if you are reaching the market you want and how they are behaving when they find your website. You can also create more realistic marketing or advertising strategy with better chances of success or improve the one you are already working on.
Why Site Traffic API?
Site Traffic API offers a JSON API to get estimated website traffic statistics, which include website worth/value, monthly page views, unique visitors, site revenue (from advertising), and more. You can integrate this API into your services to provide traffic statistics to your clients or you can use it to quickly estimate the amount of traffic of any website.
This is a very powerful algorithm that can estimate the amount of traffic to any website. It took years to fine-tune it to be as accurate as possible and we constantly improve it. Powered by SimilarWeb, this website analytics tool can help businesses to estimate the website traffic volume of competitors, while media/advertising agencies and SEO agencies can use it to check the traffic of any website.
Here is why this website traffic API is different:
Visitors, Pageviews, etc: Site Traffic API shows you estimated website traffic statistics, including website worth, monthly pageviews, monthly visitors, monthly revenue (from advertising), Alexa rank, and more.
Always Up-To-Date: The site traffic data you get from this API is always up-to-date and fresh, which means you will not get old or not-updated traffic statistics. All retrieved stats are in real-time.
Powerful Algorithm: The estimated website traffic statistics are calculated by our advanced algorithm that analyzes the site’s popularity, backlinks, traffic ranks, age, and other information.
API Web Interface: On their Dashboard, they have included a web interface for the API that you can use to quickly get website traffic in a user-friendly output and without the need to type a captcha.
IP Whitelisting: You can lock your account and your API key to a single IPv4 address or an IPv4 range (i.e 1.2.3.4/24) so only the specified IP addresses are allowed to log in to your account or use your API key.
Simple Pricing
Site Traffic API offers a “Pay-as-You-Go” plan that allows you to buy only API queries you need, there are no recurring or hidden fees and purchased queries do not expire. When you submit a website, i.e google.com, to our API endpoint, it is considered one API query. So if you need to scan 1000 websites, you need 1000 API queries. The more API queries you buy the less you pay them.
