/v1/domain-overview

One domain's organic footprint — keywords ranked, top positions, estimated traffic and value.

The first call of any competitive read. From the Labs ranking index: how many keywords the domain ranks for, how many sit in the top 3 and top 10, the estimated monthly organic traffic and what that traffic would cost as ads — plus the paid-search side. A domain the index has never seen returns zeros, not an error.

Parameters#

NameDescription
domainrequiredhostname to profile, e.g. example.com
countryoptional2-letter country code, default us
langoptional2-letter language code, default en

Request#

Plain GET. Without a payment header the response is a 402 carrying the price; an x402 client pays and retries on its own — see the quickstart.

Response#

200 with the JSON below (trimmed) and the settlement signature in the PAYMENT-RESPONSE header. Every paid response also carries price and cluster.
