SimilarWeb search: find domains by name, keyword suggestions, favorites, and recently viewed domains.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 22+
• Chrome with remote debugging (only for auth)
• A SimilarWeb Pro account (logged in at pro.similarweb.com)

Setup

node similarweb-search.mjs auth

Reuses session from similarweb-website if available.

Usage

# Search for websites/domains
node similarweb-search.mjs search shopify
node similarweb-search.mjs search "artificial intelligence" --count=10

# Search for keyword suggestions
node similarweb-search.mjs keywords "ai chatbot"
node similarweb-search.mjs keywords ecommerce --count=50

# List favorited domains
node similarweb-search.mjs favorites

# List recently viewed domains
node similarweb-search.mjs recent

How it works

1. auth -- Reuses the similarweb-website session if available, otherwise extracts cookies from Chrome.

2. search -- Calls GET /autocomplete/websites?term=<query>. Returns matching domain names with favicons. Useful for finding exact domain names before using other similarweb taskpacks.

3. keywords -- Calls GET /autocomplete/keywords?term=<query>. Returns keyword suggestions related to the search term.

4. favorites -- Calls GET /api/userdata/favorites. Returns the user's favorited domains.

5. recent -- Calls GET /api/userdata/recent. Returns recently viewed domains with comparison context, page visited, category, and date.
